ABSTRACT:
The magnetic cardiac pacemaker utilizes bisphasic pulses of mixed frequencies and waveforms that are applied to a field coil to generate magnetic pulses of relatively low intensity (less than 200 Gauss) without the use of leads. The device can be worn externally on the chest near the heart to enable the magnetic field to penetrate the body and control the heart muscle as a non-invasive cardiac pacemaker or it can be inserted subcutaneously as a permanent non-lead system cardiac pacemaker.
