Abstract

In this paper, we propose the use of Genetic Algorithms as a tool for improving a pacemaker efficiency in a defective heart. Such device is generally used when the electrical activity of the heart is deficient and consists in applying electrodes on several points at the surface of the heart. % surface.By optimizing the positions of these electrodes with respect to a well chosen criteria, we show the significant gain that can beachieved with this technique compared to a less systematic positioning.
