I am not a physician but I can speak from personal experience as I do have a 100% pace maker implanted. Basically it means that the heart would not beat properly or sometimes not even at all on its own accord so the device must shock the heart to beat every single second. Pace makers used to have a set rhythm they would beat in but now the pacemakers can speed up or slow down depending on your activities for instance say if the patient were to exert themselves in any way the pacemaker would speed up as well which is much more natural for the heart and I imagine would probably prolong the patients life by years.

What name is the rate set by the heart pacemaker?
Pacemakers are set by the surgeon-physician at the time it is implanted. Most times, the pacemaker is simply set to a normal heart rate (around 70-80 beats per minute). The primary function of the pacemaker is to restore a more regular beat when the heart cannot maintain a normal heart rate. You should consult your physician-surgeon for particulars about your pacemaker, its use, function, and signs/symptoms to watch for after the pacemaker is implanted.
