The human heart is an essential organ in a human body. It pumps blood, all around but you can really subdivide the whole heart into two halves and think of it as a double pump. One part pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs to deposit carbon dioxide, pick up oxygen and go to the other side where it’s going to pump the freshly oxygenated blood to the rest of the body until it arrives back to the first part to deposit the carbon dioxide. However, it is also common for the human heart to suffer from various conditions that differs from one to another, such as heart block, heart failure and not regulated heartbeats. Some of these diseases can be treated using a medication, but in some situations medication dont work as useful as it is supposed to work, so scientists discovered pacemakers that can regulate the heartbeats, in this way doctors can turn to implantable pacemaker as a solution for this disease. This essay will discuss about this pacemaker, for what it is used, etc.
An artificial pacemaker is an electronic medical device which is used to treat abnormalities in the rhythm of the human heart. These devices are used internally inside the body, are usually small and implanted into the chest. The pacemaker provides electrical impulses that allow the heart to beat at its normal rate, if the heart were not able to do so by itself.
