Method of providing a biological pacemaker
US 5103821 A
ABSTRACT
A process for providing a biological pacemaker for the human heart wherein the sino-atrial (S-A) node cells are removed from the heart and cultured to generate a critical mass of S-A node cells of sufficient quantity to generate a depolarization wave capable of stimulating the cells of the myocardium to ensure normal or near-normal pumping action in the heart. The critical mass of S-A node cells are then implanted in the myocardial tissue of the right ventricle to provide biological pacing for the heart which is sensitive to and variable with normal increase and decrease of output demands on the heart.

Method of providing a biological pacemaker
The BioPace technology aims to provide a novel natural pacemaker
within the patient’s heart to restoring complete cardiac function, nullifying
the use of batteries or leads and maintaining physiological responses to oxygen
needs.
