Medical - Medical: Cardiology / pacemaker, history of
English term or phrase: myocardial wire
The concept of direct cardiac pacing materialized in a familiar
place: the Department of Surgery at the University
of
Minnesota. Walt Lillehei, the pioneer of cross-circulation,
was
learning that conduction block was a frequent complication of
his open-heart
surgeries, either
with cross-circulation
or, after
1954, with the heart-lung
machine. Suturing a ventricular septal
defect could sever conduction pathways or cause enough tissue
inflammation to disturb the pathways temporarily. During
a morbidity and mortality conference at Minnesota in 1956, a
physiologist suggested that directly pacing the heart through
an electrode on the heart’s surface could rectify this problem.
It would allow stimuli to be delivered to the heart at much lower
voltage and be more dependable than external pacing of the
chest wall.
Lillehei’s team took this idea to the lab in Millard Hall. They
created heart block in anesthetized dogs by passing a suture
around the top portion of the ventricular conduction system.
As expected, the dogs’ heart rate quickly plummeted. They then
stitched a wire into the outer wall of the heart, connected it to
a pulse generator, and found that the heart rate picked right up.
After
experiments with some fifty dogs, Lillehei used this
“MYOCARDIAL WIRE” for the first time in a human
being on January
30, 1957. The six-year-
old
girl developed heart block during
repair of a ventricular septal defect. With the wire in place
and connected to a generator, the girl’s ventricular rate increased
immediately from thirty to eighty-five
beats per minute, and she
survived the operation.

cablaggio miocardico/cavo elettrico miocardico
Explanation:
I primi pacemaker erano molto diversi da quelli attuali. Erano effettivamente costituiti da cavi elettrici che passavano attraverso la pelle e collegavano il cuore a un generatore portatile con alimentazione a batteria.

disagree  EleoE: Negli anni 50? Tra l'altro, si sta parlando di stimolazione cardiaca diretta.

agree  Gaetano Silvestri Campagnano: Quindi è il precursore del "pacing lead" tipico del pacemaker, cioè il classico elettrocatetere di stimolazione cardiaca?
