On development of Chip to Control Laser Time for Cell-selective Arrhythmia Ablation of Heart

Human heart is a very important part of body. Its proper functioning is extremely important for the survival of human being. Quite often, the heart does not function properly owing to one reason or the other. The primary reason for such a malfunctioning of heart could be due to some of the faulty and abnormal cells in heart. Generally, the photo-techniques are used to destroy such abnormal cells. However, such techniques are not much effective. Currently, laser techniques are used to destroy malfunctioning cells of the heart. The basic idea about these techniques is that with the help of a laser beam, some particles are sent to the cells of heart, so that only the abnormal cells get destroyed while retaining the normal or healthy cells of the heart. Further, the paper also demonstrates a procedure for applying a laser beam for a specified time. The procedure is developed in Verilog software. The Verilog program is then implemented on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and the testing of this program is done. The developed circuit in the present paper is expected to be useful for a number of applications indifferent industries.
