spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/2776 In vivo mechanical loading conditions of pectorally implanted cardiac pacemakers : feasibility of a force measurement system and concept of an animal-human transfer function De Vaal, Michael Hamman Franz, Thomas Medicine Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 92-98). The objectives of this study were to assess the feasibility of this system for measuring in vivo mechanical loading on pectorally implanted pacemakers, to compare differences in mechanical loading experienced by pacemakers in different pectoral implant positions (i.e. sub-muscular and sub-coetaneous) and to formulate a concept of an interspecific transfer function for predicting the in vivo mechanical loads on sub-muscularly implanted pacemakers in humans, by using data obtained from baboons. 2014-07-28T08:25:03Z 2014-07-28T08:25:03Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/2776 eng application/pdf Division of Cardiology Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town
