Why do people need a pace maker?

If a person's natural heart rate (sinus rhythm) is too slow then the heart will not be able to pump enough blood to meet the needs of their body. A pacemaker is a small implantable device that can increase the heart rate by using an electrical stimulus to cause the heart muscle to contract. The pacemaker can be programed to stimulate the heart at a desired rate to increase the heart rate and enable cardiac output to be sufficient.


Why does a person heartbeat slow down when he or she is resting?

Because your body is at rest. Your heart rate rises when you are moving, exerting energy, exercising, etc. When you are at rest, that is your resting heart rate. If you have a fast heart beat while at rest, you may have high blood pressure or another heart issue. Exercising regularly can lower your resting heart rate. in other words: As the person is at rest you dont require so much energy, so as less energy is required the cells respire at a slower rate, as they respire at a slower rate they require less oxygen and glucose( which is carried in the blood) hence the heart pumps blood at a slower rate due to which the heart beat is slow.
