Simulation and Study of Asynchronous Pacemaker via MatLab
Abstract: A pacemaker is an electronic device, which is used by heart patients when they suffer from arrhythmias. The sinoatrial node (SA node) of our heart generates electrical impulses which travel downs the atrioventricular (AV) node to the bundle of His and then to the Purkinje fibres, from where it distributes to the ventricular region. Importance of this impulse is that it makes the heart contract, which helps in maintaining blood …
