It compensates for a failure of the heart's own pacemaker nerve circuit that would normally keep it beating in the correct rhythm.
It contains an electronic circuit and is connected by wires to the heart muscle. The electronic circuit generates pulses of current in the correct rhythm to keep the heart beating.

What purpose does n artificial pacemaker serve and how does it function?
It keeps your heart at a steady pace.
What purpose does an artificial pacemaker serve and does it function?
An artificial pacemaker works by detecting changes in the heart's rhythm. If it detects a 'problem' - it delivers a shock to the heart's muscle - returning the heartbeat to a regular beat.
When was Artificial cardiac pacemaker created?
Artificial cardiac pacemaker was created in 1959.
What does artificial pacemaker do?
An Artificial Pacemaker basically regulates the rate of the heart beat depending on the needs of the body.
Does artificial pacemaker replace SA node?
yes
What does an artificial pacemaker look like on an EKG?
wandering baseline
Who invent the artificial pacemaker?
John hopps invented the first external pacemaker. Later Earl Bakken improved this pacemaker by making it battery powered. And then Wilson Greatbatch invented the first implantable pacemaker!
What dose an artificial pacemaker do?
Keeps the beats of your heart in correct rhythm
What are some technology related in human organ system?
Artificial Pacemaker
What purpose does an artificial pacemaker serve?
A pacemaker is a medical device which uses electrical impulses, delivered by electrodes contacting the heart muscles, to regulate the beating of the heart. The primary purpose of a pacemaker is to maintain an adequate heart rate, either because the heart's native pacemaker is not fast enough, or there is a block in the heart's electrical conduction system.It takes over the function of the sino-atrial node, that is the natural pacemaker of the heart. A pacemaker gives impulses so that the heart contracts and the blood flows out
Who made the first artificial pacemaker and when?
-in the 1930's Albert S. Hyman
What special equipment is connected to the heart to make it beat regularly?
artificial pacemaker
