A cardiac pacemaker uses electric impulses to regulate a beating heart. Cardiac pacemakers are designed to treat various forms of arrhythmia (heart beat irregularities).
Artificial cardiac pacemaker was created in 1959.
No, you cannot feel the impulses from a pacemaker. A pacemaker generates electrical impulses to regulate the heartbeat, but these impulses are delivered directly to the heart muscle and are not perceptible to the individual. Most people with a pacemaker do not experience any sensation from its operation, although they may notice improvements in their heart function and overall well-being.
It means that a functioning pacemaker is in place.
The cardiac rhythm is established by the sinoatrial (SA) node, which is the heart's natural pacemaker. The SA node generates electrical impulses that travel through the heart, coordinating the contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle to create a regular heartbeat.

VOO is a pacing mode in a pacemaker that stands for "Ventricular Output, Open." In this mode, the pacemaker delivers electrical impulses to the ventricles of the heart without sensing any intrinsic cardiac activity. This means that the pacemaker will continuously stimulate the ventricles at a set rate, regardless of whether the heart is beating normally on its own. It is typically used in situations where there is a complete heart block or when no intrinsic ventricular activity is present.
The Pacemaker cells of the Sinoatrial Node spontaneously initiates the impulse. Without stimulation from nerve fibers or any other outside agents, the nodal cells initiate impulses that spread into the surrounding myocardium and stimulate cardiac muscle fibers to contract.
Cardiac arrythmias.. Sometimes life threatening cardiac arrythmias. Inneficient cardiac out put and death.
Morris Tischler created the cardiac pacemaker.
cardiac muscle
Pacemaker is located in the right atrium and generates electrical impulses to start a muscle contraction in the heart.
A typical pacemaker generates electrical impulses that can range from 1 to 5 millivolts (mV). The specific output can vary depending on the type of pacemaker and the individual patient's needs. These impulses stimulate the heart to contract and maintain a regular heartbeat.
