What does a doctor do if the pacemaker is not functioning?
If your pacemakers are not functioning correctly, then a doctor will often use a defibrillator to shock them back into normal usage. Your pacemakers send electrical pulses to your cardiac muscles signaling them when it is time to contract. When these pacemakers (cells) are not functioning correctly, then the doctor will use the defibrillator to change their electrical currents, this way the pacemaker cells are fixed.
Uses of plutonium 238?
The primary use for plutonium 238 is in radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) in space probes. It has also been used in RTGs in cardiac pacemakers. As of 2003 there were still between 50 and 100 of these pacemakers in use.

What two types of pacemakers are there?
The two main types of pacemakers are temporary pacemakers and permanent pacemakers. Temporary pacemakers are used for short-term management of bradycardia or other heart rhythm issues, often in a hospital setting, while permanent pacemakers are implanted surgically for long-term treatment of chronic heart rhythm disorders. Permanent pacemakers are designed to regulate the heart's rhythm over an extended period, adapting to the patient's needs. Both types help ensure that the heart maintains an adequate rate and rhythm.
