Artificial Cardiac Pacemaker

An artificial cardiac pacemaker is a small medical device implanted in the chest to help regulate the heartbeat. It sends tiny electrical signals to stimulate the heart when it beats too slowly or irregularly, ensuring steady and effective blood flow. The pacemaker monitors the heart’s rhythm continuously and adjusts its signals as needed. It is powered by a battery and connected to the heart via thin wires called leads. Pacemakers are essential for people with certain heart conditions, helping improve their quality of life and reducing symptoms like dizziness or fatigue caused by abnormal heart rhythms.
