The two main types of pacemakers are temporary pacemakers and permanent pacemakers. Temporary pacemakers are used for short-term management of bradycardia or other heart rhythm issues, often in a hospital setting, while permanent pacemakers are implanted surgically for long-term treatment of chronic heart rhythm disorders. Permanent pacemakers are designed to regulate the heart's rhythm over an extended period, adapting to the patient's needs. Both types help ensure that the heart maintains an adequate rate and rhythm.

What are the two escape pacemakers and their intrinsic rates?

The two escape pacemakers in the heart are the atrioventricular (AV) node and the Purkinje fibers. The AV node typically has an intrinsic rate of 40 to 60 beats per minute, while the Purkinje fibers have a lower intrinsic rate of about 20 to 40 beats per minute. These pacemakers take over when the primary pacemaker, the sinoatrial (SA) node, fails to generate impulses effectively.
