Wireless Power Transfer for Self-Reporting Cardiovascular Implantable Medical Devices
摘要
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), a collective of disorders of the heart and blood vessels, is a leading cause of the death and morbidity worldwide. Cardiovascular medical implantable devices (cIMDs) are an effective treatment that can access and restore the functions of the failed or diseased cardiovascular system by surgical implantation. However, the majority of cIMDs such as pacemakers, defibrillators, and ventricular assist devices are intended to remain permanently to maintaining the patients’ life, they are powered by batteries that require frequent replacement before running out of power. This chapter provides a specific review of advanced wireless power transfer (WPT) technique for driving the long-term functionality of cIMDs. WPT holds great promise for eliminating the need for percutaneous wires and enabling long-term powering of medical devices, paving the way for more efficient and convenient healthcare solutions that significantly reduce the risk of side effects associated with battery replacements.
