Pacemaker, Rhythm Driver (Pacemaker)

Pacemaker, Rhythm Driver (Pacemaker) - 1. A device designed to maintain normal heart rhythm in patients suffering from heart block. It consists of a battery that stimulates the heart through an inserted electrode that is attached to the surface of the ventricle (epicardial pacemaker) or located on the surface of the endocardium (endocardial pacemaker). The pacemaker can be used as a temporary measure and be powered by an external battery or be permanent - in this case the entire device is implanted under the patient’s skin. Some types of pacemakers are used to force the heart to contract at a certain speed; others stimulate the heart when its rate drops below a predetermined value (demand pacemaker).

  1. The sinoatrial node, which regulates the heart rate (is the pacemaker - ed.).


Pacemakers and pacemakers are devices that are used to maintain a normal heart rhythm. In this article we will look at what pacemakers are, how they work, and what types of pacemakers exist.

A pacemaker is a device that is used to maintain the heart rhythm in patients suffering from heart block. It works by stimulating heart contractions through an electrode inserted into the ventricle of the heart. Pacemakers can be permanent or temporary, and they can be powered by a battery or an implant.

Pacemakers are natural nodes in the heart that regulate the heart rate. One such node is the sinoatrial node. If the heart rate decreases, this node automatically increases its activity to maintain the heart's rhythm.

Some pacemakers are used to force the heart to pump at a certain speed, while others are used to stimulate contractions when the heart rate drops below a certain value (this is called “demand pacing”).

In general, pacemakers and pacemakers play an important role in maintaining normal heart rhythm and preventing complications associated with irregular heart rhythms. However, these devices can be dangerous and cause serious side effects, so careful examination and consultation with your doctor should be performed before using them.



Pacemakers, or pacemakers, play an important role in maintaining a normal heart rhythm for those who suffer from heart conditions such as atrioventricular block (AVB) or sick sinus syndrome. These devices are designed to stimulate the heart through an electrode inserted into its myocardium or bloodstream.

A pacemaker is a temporary measure to maintain heart rhythm and may be placed temporarily to stabilize the heart rate in patients with AVB, a previous procedure, or if the patient requires subsequent cardiac surgery
