A pacemaker is connected to the heart through one or more leads, which are thin, insulated wires. These leads are inserted through a vein and threaded into the heart, typically into the right atrium and/or ventricle. Once in place, the leads are attached to the pacemaker device, which is usually implanted under the skin, often in the chest area, to deliver electrical impulses that help regulate the heart's rhythm. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and can be done using minimally invasive techniques.

What is considered the pacemaker of the heart?
The sinoatrial node is considered the pacemaker of the heart.
What is the pacemaker made of?
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.
Where is the Natural pacemaker?
The SA node, the natural pacemaker of the heart, is found in the right atrium of the heart.
Is the bundle of his is known as the natural pacemaker of the heart?
No, the Sinoatrial Node is known as the natural pacemaker of the heart
What is the back-up pacemaker of the heart?
The sinoatrial node is known as the pacemaker of the heart.
Is a pacemaker a group of cells located in the left atrium?
A pacemaker is a device inserted into the heart to regulate the heart beats or heart rate
Where is located the pacemaker?
The pacemaker is located on the outside of the right atrium.
How can electricity help you with your pacemaker?
A pacemaker delivers an electric stimulus to the heart.
What is the technical term for your pacemaker?
The heart's "pacemaker" is the SA (sinoatrial) node.
What property makes the normal pacemaker region of the heart function as a pacemaker?
The property of the normal pacemaker region is able to provide a normal setting for the heart to beat. It allows the heart to beat at a regular rate.
What is the Role of artificial pacemaker in heart if patient has a heart disease?
Pacemaker help to normalize the electrical impulses conductance of the heart. usually people with pacemaker has an abnormal impulse originated from their SA node. so, the pacemaker is placed so that the heart can contract at a normal rate and thus prevent arrhythmia.
Why the sino atria node is regarded as a pacemaker in the heart?
The sinoatrial, or SA, node is known as the pacemaker of the heart. There are other potential pacemakers if the SA node fails, but it is the main pacemaker.
