Abstract

Modern pacemakers can be programmed to change their operating parameters even after implantation. The trend is towards custom microprocessor-based all digital, and fully programmable devices. In view of the present and anticipated future complexity and diversity of the pacemakers, we have developed a versatile programming technique. The program code consists of (i) one byte of check-sum or pacemaker ID., (i) one or more bytes of op-code (mode of operation), (iii) one or more bytes of operand (data or parameters), and (iv) one byte for synchronization. We examine the full range of program parameters such as the width and the rate, and all modes of operation such as asynchronous and demand. Due to the flexibility of this programming technique it is suitable for all present and possible future generations of programmable pacemakers.

摘要

现代起搏器甚至在植入后也可通过编程来改变其操作参数。发展趋势是朝着基于定制微处理器的全数字、完全可编程设备发展。鉴于目前以及预期未来起搏器的复杂性和多样性，我们开发了一种通用的编程技术。程序代码由（i）一个字节的校验和或起搏器ID，（ii）一个或多个操作码字节（操作模式），（iii）一个或多个操作数字节（数据或参数），以及（iv）一个用于同步的字节组成。我们研究了所有的程序参数，如宽度和速率，以及所有的操作模式，如异步和按需模式。由于这种编程技术的灵活性，它适用于目前所有以及未来可能出现的可编程起搏器。
