Abstract：Aimed to integrate key achievements of body area networks in programming/telemetry technology of implantable cardiac pacemakers,this article made a systematic review and multi-dimensional analysis approach. Firstly, we elaborated on the working principle of implantable cardiac pacemakers, particularly the programming/telemetry functions. Then, the development history of cardiac pacemaker programming/telemetry technology and sorts out the key technical threads in the development process were briefly reviewed. On this basis, this article conducted a comparative analysis of communication technologies including inductive coupling communication, current coupling communication, capacitive coupling communication, and microwave communication, to evaluate their core indicators such as transmission efficiency, biocompatibility, and electromagnetic safety in the programming/telemetry of cardiac pacemakers, and deeply explore the technical bottlenecks and potential solutions faced by each technology in clinical applications. Finally, a summary and comparative study of the common modulation and coding mechanisms of various communication standards were conducted from the perspective of information theory. In conclusion, this review was expected to provide a reference for the research on the programming/telemetry technology of implantable medical electronic devices represented by cardiac pacemakers.
