Title: Innovations by Inventor Mehra Rahul
Introduction
Mehra Rahul is an accomplished inventor based in Stillwater, MN (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of medical technology, particularly in the area of cardiac devices. With a total of 2 patents, his work focuses on improving the detection and treatment of atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method and apparatus for synchronization of atrial defibrillation pulses." This invention provides a method and apparatus for detecting and treating atrial fibrillation. The device derives an escape interval based on preceding intervals between ventricular depolarizations. Upon detecting atrial fibrillation, the escape interval is initiated in response to a ventricular depolarization, leading to the delivery of an atrial cardioversion pulse. In one embodiment, the cardioverting pulse is delivered immediately after the escape interval expires. In another embodiment, a ventricular pacing pulse is delivered first, followed by an atrial cardioversion pulse after a short delay.
Another significant patent by Mehra Rahul is the "Method and apparatus for prevention of atrial tachy arrhythmias." This invention focuses on pacing the atrium to reduce the incidence of dangerous arrhythmias. Electrodes are strategically placed in at least two locations within the atrium, preferably in the triangle of Koch. The apparatus defines a variable interval following atrial depolarizations based on the detected rate of depolarizations. Pacing pulses are delivered in response to a sensed depolarization outside the variable interval, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment.
