CA 2543088

A cardiac pacemaker includes a power transmitter which periodically transmits a pulse of a radio frequency signal to a vascular electrode-stent that is implanted in a vein or artery of an animal. The vascular electrode-stent employs energy from the radio frequency signal to charge a storage device which serves as an electrical power supply. The vascular electrode-stent also detects a cardiac signal emitted from the sinus node of the heart and responds thereto by applying a pulse of voltage from the storage device to a pair of electrodes implanted in the vascular system of the animal. Application of the voltage pulse to the electrodes stimulates contraction of the heart.

L'invention concerne un stimulateur cardiaque qui comprend un émetteur d'énergie qui transmet périodiquement une impulsion de signal radiofréquence à une endoprothèse électrode vasculaire implantée dans une veine ou dans une artère d'un animal. L'endoprothèse électrode vasculaire utilise l'énergie provenant du signal radiofréquence pour charger un dispositif de stockage servant d'alimentation électrique. L'endoprothèse électrode vasculaire détecte aussi un signal cardiaque émis par le noeud sinusal du coeur, et répond à celui-ci par l'application d'une impulsion de tension provenant du dispositif de stockage et destinée à la paire d'électrodes implantées dans le système vasculaire de l'animal. L'application aux électrodes de cette impulsion de tension stimule la contraction du coeur.
