The pacemaker has evolved significantly since its inception in the 1920s, transitioning from bulky external devices to compact, implantable units. Advancements in technology have led to the development of programmable pacemakers that can adjust their pacing based on the patient's needs and incorporate features like wireless communication for remote monitoring. Modern pacemakers also utilize biocompatible materials and energy-efficient designs, increasing their longevity and functionality. Additionally, innovations such as leadless pacemakers have emerged, reducing surgical risks and improving patient comfort.

How has a pacemaker made a difference in health care?

The pacemaker changed the world for medical reasons. Before, the 1st pacemaker would be portable and would have to be plugged into an outlet. This changed the population of people that have bradycardia. The pacemaker improved as the years went on. Later on it was implantable and had batteries. 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.
