Cardiac Pacemaker Electrophysiology

Cardiac pacemakers are devices that help regulate the heartbeat. The heart has its own electrical system, with natural pacemaker cells that generate signals to prompt each heartbeat. When these cells malfunction, a pacemaker can be implanted to send electrical impulses to the heart, ensuring it beats at a regular pace. By monitoring the heart’s rhythm and responding as needed, the pacemaker maintains proper blood flow and helps prevent issues like slow heart rates. This technology is vital for people with arrhythmias or other heart conditions, enhancing their overall quality of life.
