What ventricle is the pacemaker?
this is a particular setting on a pacemaker which essentially senses if the ventricle depolarises, if it does not the PM will activate it and ensure the heart carries on beating.Also:A demand pacemaker (there are several types) kicks in after your cardiac function varies outside a pre-set normal rate. It then brings your heartbeat into a more efficient rhythm. (Sinus-rhythm.)A demand pacemaker does not take the place of an implanted defibrillator! If a genuinely life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia develops, it takes a defibrillator -- an implanted one or an external unit used by someone trained to respond -- to correct ventricular fibrillation. If it is not corrected, v-fib is fatal.
Can defibrillator be use if a person has a pacemaker?
Yes, the pacemaker is obviously malfunctioning. Just try to not place the pad directly over the pacemaker. Typically however this is not a problem as a pacemaker is usally located near the left shoulder and the pads go on the right shoulder and left side.
Why would a defibrillator be implanted?
Paramedics and EMTs use a defibrillator to stop the heart. They are used primarily when a patient is in ventricular fibrillation. A shock is administered to stop the heart in the hopes that the heart's natural pacemaker, the sinus node, will take over and put the patient back into a normal sinus rhythm.

What is the difference between a fixed rate pacemaker and a demand pacemaker?
A fixed-rate pacemaker sends electrical prompts to your heart at an unchanging rate. Its drawbacks include that it is somewhat difficult to adapt to a state of physical exertion or emotional arousal.A more advanced type, called a demand pacemaker (there are several types) kicks in after your cardiac function varies outside a pre-set normal rate. It then brings your heartbeat into a more efficient rhythm. (Sinus-rhythm.)A demand pacemaker does not take the place of an implanted defibrillator! If a lifethreatening cardiac arrhythmia develops, it takes a defibrillator -- an implanted one or an external unit used by someone trained to respond -- to correct ventricular fibrillation. If it is not corrected, v-fib is fatal.Demand pacemakes are used to restore a normal heart rate that only becomes abnormal occasionally. A fixed rate pacemaker is used when the problem is always there and the heart won't keep going without constant help.
