Pacemaker implantation
Heart pacemakers are placed in the heart in arrhythmias or slow heartbeat cases. It is a small electronic device, almost the size of a matchbox. It comprises a circuit, a battery, and leads attached to the heart that can send electrical signals to the heart muscles. The latest pacemakers are super sensitive and can send impulses as soon as they detect that the heart has missed a beat. They are also adjustable to the body's responses. For example, they can increase heart rate when they detect that the body is active.
