A pacemaker is implanted inside the skin of the side of a patient's chest, and has 'wires' running over to the heart. A pacemaker is not in your blood.
Pacemaker help to normalize the electrical impulses conductance of the heart. usually people with pacemaker has an abnormal impulse originated from their SA node. so, the pacemaker is placed so that the heart can contract at a normal rate and thus prevent arrhythmia.
A history of myocardial infarction (heart attack), congenital defect, or cardiac transplant also increases the likelihood of pacemaker implant.
The sinoatrial node is considered the pacemaker of the heart.
No, the Sinoatrial Node is known as the natural pacemaker of the heart
The SA node, the natural pacemaker of the heart, is found in the right atrium of the heart.
The sinoatrial node is known as the pacemaker of the heart.
Depending on the reasons the pacemaker is being used in the first place. Patient may be having ectopic beats? irregular rhythms? due to heart conduction blocks or muscular damage. Expect a regular sinus rhythm with an occasional ectopic wave.
A pacemaker is a device inserted into the heart to regulate the heart beats or heart rate
The heart's "pacemaker" is the SA (sinoatrial) node.
The pacemaker is located on the outside of the right atrium.
A pacemaker delivers an electric stimulus to the heart.
