| Research Abstract |
Pacemaker with body activity sensor and mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO_2) were evaluated for control of total artificial heart, using calves. There was good correlation between SvO_22 and cardiac output. To evaluate the sensitivity of the pacemaker with body activity sensor which was connected to heart driver as regulator of total artificial heart, the pacemaker was externally attached to the chest wall of a 28-year -old man. Good correlation between intrinsic heart rate and driving rate during treadmill exercise was observed. There have been seven total artificial heart experiments using calves in our Department of Cardiovascular Surgery during the last three years.
Their mean survival period was 4 days and 8 hours. We could not achieve control of total artificial heart driving by pacemaker with body activity sensor because the calves were not well enough to get on the treadmill.
Although we could not obtain good results with animal experiments, we believe that this control system is more physiologically suitable to drive a total artificial heart during exercise.
