Synchronous Cardiac Stimulation: Definition and Application
Synchronous cardiac stimulation (S.s.) is a method of medical intervention in which the supply of an electrical impulse to the heart is synchronized with a certain phase of the cardiac cycle, with the wave of the electrocardiogram. The purpose of S. s. is to improve heart function in case of disturbances in its rhythm and conduction.
Operating principle of S. s. lies in the fact that the electrical impulse supplied to the heart is synchronized with the moment of contraction of the heart muscle. This allows for a more efficient pumping action of the heart, improves blood flow and reduces the load on the heart muscle.
Application of S. s. widely used in cardiology for the treatment of heart rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation, blockade, tachycardia and other arrhythmias. S. s. may also be used in the treatment of heart failure, especially in patients with low ejection fraction.
Procedure S. s. performed using an implantable pacemaker that is connected to the heart muscles using electrodes. The stimulator creates an electrical impulse that is synchronized with the phase of the cardiac cycle and suppresses abnormal electrical impulses that cause arrhythmia.
Like any medical procedure, S. s. may have side effects such as infections, bleeding, and electrode ruptures. However, thanks to modern technologies and the high level of qualifications of medical specialists, the risk of these complications is minimal.
In conclusion, synchronous cardiac pacing is an effective treatment for cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure. It allows patients to improve their quality of life and prolong it by providing a more efficient pumping action of the heart and reducing the load on the heart muscle.
Synchronous cardiac stimulation is a stimulation method in which the delivery of impulses is synchronized with a specific cardiac cycle and an ECG wave (electrocardiogram). This method is more effective, as it allows you to more accurately deliver an impulse to a given area of the heart.
It is important to note that the timing of pulse delivery with the cardiac cycle may vary. For example, with neurostimulation of the heart, a thin needle is inserted into the ventricle of the heart through the collarbone and the dosed supply of electrical current through it is completely controlled each time the heart completes a certain phase of its cycle. This allows you to achieve greater accuracy in setting coordinates and direct the impulse to the required area of the myocardium.
Another type of synchronization is to conduct stimulators through wires around the heart. This approach allows for greater penetration of impulses into organs, which improves their functioning and increases the effectiveness of the treatment process.
Both types of synchronization stimulate heart rate, reduce arrhythmias, improve circulation, and even reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Additionally, they may be used to treat or prevent heart failure, depression, chest pain, or other heart problems.
