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.

What does a doctor do if the pacemaker is not functioning?

If your pacemakers are not functioning correctly, then a doctor will often use a defibrillator to shock them back into normal usage. Your pacemakers send electrical pulses to your cardiac muscles signaling them when it is time to contract. When these pacemakers (cells) are not functioning correctly, then the doctor will use the defibrillator to change their electrical currents, this way the pacemaker cells are fixed.
