Abstract
Advanced materials and fractal design concepts form the basis of a 3D conformal electronic platform with unique capabilities in cardiac electrotherapies. Fractal geometries, advanced electrode materials, and thin, elastomeric membranes yield a class of device capable of integration with the entire 3D surface of the heart, with unique operational capabilities in low power defibrillation. Co‐integrated collections of sensors allow simultaneous monitoring of physiological responses. Animal experiments on Langendorff‐perfused rabbit hearts demonstrate the key features of these systems.Keywords
