Heart as a Pump System
Architecture
• The heart is a complex pump system that circulates
blood throughout the bodv.
The Heart Beat
•Theheart's pumping action is controlled by a complex network of electrical and
chemical signals, which generate the rhythm of the heartbeat.

•An electrical stimulus is generated in a special part of the heart muscle called
the sinus node. It's also called the sinoatrial node (SA node).

•The sinus node is a small mass of special tissue in the right upper chamber of
the heart (right atrium).

•Inan adult, the sinus node sends out a regular electrical pulse 60 to 100 times
per minute.
Electrical Signalling — ECG Monitoring and Heart Related
Issues
The heart's pumping action is controlled by electrical signaling, which generates the
rhythm of the heartbeat.

This electrical signaling can be monitored using an electrocardiogram (ECG), which


records the electrical activity of the heart and provides important information about
the heart's function.
ECG waves and their relation to heart nodes
Some common heart-related issues that can be diagnosed or monitored using
ah ECG include:
— Arrhythmias: Abnormalities in the heart's rhythm or rate can be detected
using an ECG.
— Heart disease: Changes in the heart's electrical activity can indicate the
presence of heart disease, such as coronary artery disease or heart attacks.
— Heart attack: An ECG can help diagnose a heart attack by detecting
changes in the heart's electrical activity that indicate a lack of blood flow to
the heart.
Overall, the ECG is a useful tool for diagnosing and monitoring heart-related
issues and helps to provide important information about the heart's function
and health.
Design of Stents
Stents are small, metal mesh devices that are used to treat blockages in
blood vessels.

They are typically used in procedures such as angioplasty, where a balloon


catheter is used to open up a blocked blood vessel and a stent is placed to
keep it open.
Pace Makers
• A pacemaker is a small device that is surgically implanted in
the chest to regulate the heartbeat.

• It is used to treat heart rhythm disorders,such as bradycardia


(a slow heartbeat) or arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms),
by delivering electrical impulses to the heart to regulate its
rhythm.
Representing components of a pacemaker
The basic design of a pacemaker consists of:

• Generator: The generator is the main component of the pacemaker and


contains a battery and electronic circuitry to generate and control the
electrical impulses
• Leads: Leads are thin wires that connect the generator to the heart and carry
the electrical impulses from the generator to the heart
• Electrodes: The electrodes are located at the end of the leads and are used to
deliver the electrical impulses to the heart
Defibrillators

• A defibrillator is a medical device that delivers an electric shock to the heart


to restore its normal rhythm in cases of cardiac arrest or other life-threatening
heart rhythm disorders.
• Defibrillators can be external (placed on the chest) or internal (implanted
within the body).
The basic design of a defibrillator consists of:

• Power source: The power source, typically a battery, provides energy to


deliver the electric shock to the heart
• Electrodes: The electrodes are placed on the chest and deliver the electric
shock to the heart
• Circuitry: The circuitry in the defibrillator controls the delivery of the electric
shock including the timing, strength, and duration of the shock
• Display: A display on the defibrillator provides information about the heart
rhythm, battery life, and other relevant information
