A pacemaker is a medical device that uses electrical impulses to regulate the beating of the heart. An artificial heart is a mechanical device that replaces the heart. It seems like a far more difficult and dangerous option.

When was the pacemaker discovered?

Canadian, John Hopps invented the first cardiac pacemaker and he was trained as an electrical engineer at the University of Manitoba and joined the National Research Council in 1941, where he conducted research on hypothermia. While experimenting with radio frequency heating to restore body temperature, Hopps discovered if a heart stopped beating due to cooling, it could be started again by artificial stimulation using mechanical or electric means. This lead to Hopps' invention of the world's first cardiac pacemaker in 1950. His device was far too large to be implanted inside of the human body. It was an external pacemaker.
