Pacemaker: Advancing Heart Rhythm Care with Precision
A pacemaker is one of the most remarkable examples of how medical engineering can transform lives. Designed to regulate abnormal heart rhythms, this small electronic device acts as a guardian for individuals whose hearts beat too slowly or irregularly. Rather than being viewed only as an implanted machine, a pacemaker is often considered an extension of the body’s natural electrical system—quietly monitoring, correcting, and supporting the heart’s rhythm every second of the day.
At the core of its function, the pacemaker generates electrical impulses that stimulate the heart muscle to contract at an appropriate pace. These signals mimic the natural instructions carried by the heart’s sinus node, which may become weakened due to age, disease, or congenital conditions. Pacemakers step in when this internal conductor fails to keep the rhythm steady. They are typically implanted beneath the skin near the collarbone, with leads…
