Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for cardiac pacing, cardioversion, and defibrillation rely on delivering ultrasonic and other vibrational energy to the heart, usually after the onset of an arrhythmia. A vibrational transducer assembly is implanted or applied externally so that vibrational energy can be directed toward at least a portion of the heart from an anterior or posterior aspect, typically being implanted over the ribs, over the sternum, between the ribs, beneath the ribs, or on the back.
