Cardiac Pacemakers

A cardiac pacemaker is a small medical device implanted under the skin to help regulate the heartbeat. It sends electrical signals to the heart muscle when the natural heartbeat is too slow or irregular, ensuring the heart beats regularly and efficiently. The device has a battery and wires called leads that connect to the heart. Pacemakers are vital for people with arrhythmias or other conditions affecting heart rhythm, helping improve quality of life and prevent complications like fainting or heart failure. Modern pacemakers are designed to work reliably over many years with minimal maintenance.
