Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9519806A1] A cardiac electrotherapy device comprises a catheter means (90) adapted to be inserted through a blood vessel (6) into the right ventricle of the heart, a distal pacing electrode at the distal end of said catheter means, at least one pair of Doppler measurement ultrasonic piezoelectric transducer means (91 to 94) attached to said catheter means in a position as to detect the velocity of blood flow through pulmonary veins (97) when the catheter means is inserted into the right ventricle of the heart, electrical conductors (150) arranged within said catheter means, which are connected at their distal ends to said pacing electrode and said transducer means, respectively and which are connected or connectable at their proximal ends to an electronic circuitry for receiving and processing the blood flow velocity data of the pulmonary veins (97), detected by said ultrasonic piezoelectric transducer means.
