A pacemaker is an electrically charged medical device. Your surgeon implants it under your skin to help manage irregular heartbeats
called arrhythmias.
Modern pacemakers have two parts. One part, called the pulse generator, contains
the battery and the electronics that control your heartbeat. The other part is one or more leads to send electrical signals to your heart. Leads are small wires that run from te pulse generator to your heart.
ᴛyᴩᴇꜱ ᴏꜰ ᴩᴀᴄᴇᴍᴀᴋᴇʀꜱ ᴏꜰ ᴀʀʀʜyᴛʜᴍɪᴀꜱ:-
tachycardia, a heartbeat that’s too fast
bradycardia, a heartbeat that’s too slow.
ɴᴏᴛᴇ:- Some people need a special type of pacemaker called a biventricular pacemaker, or bivent. You may need a bivent if you have severe heart failure. A bivent makes the two sides of the heart beat in sync. This is known as cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)
ɴᴇᴇᴅ ᴏꜰ ᴀ ᴩᴀᴄᴇᴍᴀᴋᴇʀ:-
You need a pacemaker if your heart is pumping too quickly or slowly. In either case, your body doesn’t get enough blood. This can cause:
fatiguᴇ
fainting or lightheadedness
shortness of breath
damage to vital organs
eventual death
A pacemaker regulates your body’s electrical system, which controls your heart rhythm. With each heartbeat, an electrical impulse travels from the top of your heart to the bottom, signaling your heart’s muscles to contract.
A pacemaker can also track and record your heartbeat. A record can help your doctor better understand your arrhythmia.
