An artificial pacemaker is typically indicated for two main conditions: bradycardia, which is an abnormally slow heart rate that can lead to symptoms like fatigue and fainting, and heart block, where the electrical signals in the heart are partially or completely obstructed, preventing proper heart function. These conditions can compromise the heart's ability to pump blood effectively, making a pacemaker necessary to regulate the heart's rhythm and ensure adequate blood flow.
Artificial cardiac pacemaker was created in 1959.
An Artificial Pacemaker basically regulates the rate of the heart beat depending on the needs of the body.

Yes. They allow people with some types of heart conditions to lead normal lives, wher they might otherwise be dead or sickly.

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!
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.

Replacement is required in order to replace the battery.
