A pacemaker is a small device, about the size of a wristwatch, that helps regulate the heart rate. The pacemaker is made of two main parts - the leads and the generator. The leads are thin wires that connect the heart with the generator. The leads can be attached to the surface of the heart or passed through a vein inside the heart. The lead is then attached to the generator. The generator is a small metal case that includes a battery and a microcomputer, which is the "brain" of the pacemaker. The generator is sutured under the skin in the upper chest or abdomen.

Today, the pacemaker also can be charged from the outside without getting surgery to replace the battery due to the new technology that we have today.
