Who made the control unit for the pacemaker?
The control unit for the pacemaker was developed by Dr. Paul Zoll in the 1950s, who created the first external pacemaker. However, the first fully implantable pacemaker was designed by Dr. Rune Elmqvist and Dr. Åke Senning in 1958. Their collaboration led to the creation of a device that could regulate heart rhythm without external power sources.

What did the first pacemaker look like?
The first pacemaker, developed in 1958 by Dr. Paul Zoll, was a large, bulky device that resembled a suitcase. It used external electrodes placed on the patient's chest to deliver electrical impulses to stimulate the heart. The device was not implantable and required continuous power from an external source, making it quite cumbersome compared to modern pacemakers. Over time, pacemaker technology evolved significantly, leading to smaller, implantable devices that are now widely used.
