The middle and thickest layer of the heart. It contracts to pump blood out of the heart and then relaxes as the heart refills with returning blood..
Industry:Medical devices
Medical instruments or procedures that do not require cutting the skin..
Industry:Medical devices
Surgery performed on the opened heart while the bloodstream is diverted through a heart-lung machine to sustain normal oxygenation and circulation.
Industry:Medical devices
Balloon dilatation catheter that is delivered over a separate guide wire to position the catheter in a specific place.
Industry:Medical devices
Carrying oxygen with it. Blood that carries oxygen from the lungs to all body tissue is oxygenated blood.
Industry:Medical devices
An implantable system that includes a pulse generator (pacemaker) and one or two leads. The system delivers pacing pulses to the heart when the patient's own rate is too slow to pump enough blood to the body.
Industry:Medical devices
An electrically insulated conductor that carries signals between the pulse generator (pacemaker) and the heart. Some leads enter the heart through a vein, and other leads attach to the outer surface of the heart.
Industry:Medical devices
A pulse generator with one or two special sensors designed to recognise changes in the body, such as motion or respiratory patterns. The adaptive-rate pacemaker monitors these body changes and alters the pacing rate accordingly.
Industry:Medical devices
A pacemaker with two leads that can pace and/or sense in two chambers to correct slow heart rhythms. One lead is placed in the right atrium; the other is placed in the right ventricle.
Industry:Medical devices
The heart's natural pacemaker, called the sinoatrial or S-A node, which is located in heart's upper right chamber, the right atrium. Electrical impulses originate in the S-A node, which causes the atria to contract, forcing blood into the heart's lower chambers, the ventricles.
