ABSTRACT:
An atrial arrythmia sensor and drug dispensing apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a multiphase, multistage intelligent system to monitor and treat atrial fibrillation. The apparatus includes atrial rate sensing means, cardiac pacing and antitachycardia pacing means, drug delivery means including a self-cleaning catheter line with multi-drug dispensing capability preferably operated using a dual pump arrangement and an iontophoretic device. The drug delivery system may also include a porous catheter to discharge drug into the atrium. The intelligent system includes a memory implemented logic (software) to continuously monitor the atrial rate and initiate a response of either cardiac pacing, antitachycardia pacing or drug dispensing based on preset cardiac activity parameters. The system also includes a medical history recording feature.
