Our heart simulator has already been used for the
basic design of the Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) that delivers
a strong electrical shock to the heart when a fatal arrhythmia is detected.
By optimizing the arrangement of electrodes and the temporal profile of
the electrical current, an ICD that is much more comfortable than the currently
used device will soon be available in Japan (in collaboration with the National
Cardiovascular Center).
