A pacemaker is a small electrical device that runs on a battery and produces low voltage rhythmic electrical signals that keep the heart beating when the heart's own electrical signals are deficient. A pacemaker continuously "watches" the electrical system of your heart and provides the needed electrical signal if your heart does not do so. During periods when the heart produces its own electrical signal normally, the pacemaker does nothing except to continue to monitor.A pacemaker system is made up of three parts:1.The generator, a smooth, lightweight case containing a tiny computer and a battery which makes the electrical signals needed to pace the heart; 2.The connector or header, which is the part of the generator where the leads are attached; and 3.The leads, which are wires covered in soft, flexible plastic that are inserted into the heart to help the generator watch the heart and carry the generator’s signals to the heart

What is a pacemaker?

Why would I need a pacemaker?

Your heart beats too slow or too fast.

Your heart doesn’t beat regularly.

There’s a block in your heart’selectrical pathways

What are the type of pacemaker?

Internal Pacemaker

External Pacemaker

How it work?

• A pacemaker uses batteries to send electricsignals to your heart to help it pump the

right way.• The pacemaker is connected to your heartby one or more wires. Tiny electric chargesthat you can’t feel move through the wire

to your heart.• Pacemakers work only when needed. They

go on when your heartbeat is too slow, too fastor irregular.

Benefits of pacemaker

Neurostimulation involves modulation of the nervous system and electrically activate neurons in the body. The activation of neural elements in a part of the nervous system can be effectively facilitated by stimulation. Micro-electrodes are utilized to interface with excitable tissue in order to either restore recording experiences to the implant recipient or control an effector organ. Neurostimulation technology improves the life quality of those who are severely paralyzed or suffering from profound losses to various sense organs. It serves as the key part of neural prosthetics for hearing aid, artificial vision, artificial limbs, and brain-machine interfaces. In the case of neural stimulation, mostly an electrical stimulation is utilized and charge-balanced biphasic constant current waveforms or capacitively coupled charge injection approaches are adopted. Alternatively, the transcranial magnetic stimulation has been proposed as a non-invasive method in which a magnetic field causes neurostimulation.
