Pacemakers
An artificial pacemaker is a medical device that regulates the heartbeat via electrical impulses that are delivered by electrodes, which contracts the muscles of the heart. Pacemakers are given to people who have a slow natural pacemaker or those who have a cardiac obstruction blocking natural electrical impulses.

How can the arrhythmias of EDMD and BMD be treated?
may be treatable with antiarrhythmia drugs such as mexiletine or nifedipine. A pacemaker may be implanted if these do not provide adequate control. Heart transplants are increasingly common for men with BMD
threshold is reached more quickly and heart rate would increase
Sinoatrial node
What causes the pacemaker to change the rate at which the heart beats?
The sympatetic nerve increases the SA node to speed up the heart rate
The parasympathetic nerve uses the vagus nerve which decreases HR
Explain how the action of the pacemaker is related to the symptoms of heart block and fibrillation?
In a Cardiac condition known as heart block, there is an interruption in the message from the SA node to the AV node. The interruption can occur in varying degrees.
Most common use of a pacemaker is to have it help the heart keep its rhytm, but they can also be set up to act as a an integrated defibrillator to shock start the heart if it should stop.
