CA 2422578

A unitary subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator is disclosed which has a long thin housing in the shape of a patient's rib. The housing contains a source of electrical energy, a capacitor, and operational circuitry that senses the presence of potentially fatal heart rhythms. Provided on the housing are cardioversion/defibrillation electrodes located to deliver electrical cardioversion-defibrillation energy when the operational circuitry senses a potentially fatal heart rhythm. The unitary subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator does not have a transvenous, intracardiac, epicardial, or subcutaneous electrode.

L'invention concerne un système monobloc de défibrillation-cardioversion pouvant être installé de manière sous-cutanée et comportant une enveloppe longue et mince présentant la forme d'une côte de patient. L'enveloppe contient une source d'énergie électrique, un condensateur, et des circuits opérationnels permettant de détecter des rythmes cardiaques potentiellement mortels. Des électrodes de cardioversion/défibrillation sont disposées sur l'enveloppe de manière à fournir l'énergie électrique de cardioversion-défibrillation quand les circuits opérationnels détectent un rythme cardiaque potentiellement mortel. Ce système monobloc de défibrillation-cardioversion pouvant être installé de manière sous-cutanée ne comporte pas d'électrode transveineuse, intracardiaque, épicardique ou sous-cutanée.
