What is the structure of the artificial pacemaker?
The sinoatrial node is commonly referred to as the pacemake of the heart. Located in the atrium, the SA node usually "fires" 60 to 100 times a minute which induces the heart to beat. Heart rhythms that start from this node are known as sinus rhythms. The heart also has a atrioventricular pacemaker that "fires" at 40 to 60 beats per minute. If the sinoatrial node fails to function, the AV node will begin to work. Heart rhythms that are generated from this node are known as junctional rhythms. Finally, as a last resort, there is a ventricular pacemaker. This "fires" at a rate of 20 to 40. These rhythms are described as idioventricular or "escape" rhythms. People whit these heart rhythms most likely will be experiencing severe signs and symptoms of poor perfusion.
