A pacemaker is a marvel of medical engineering, a tiny yet powerful device designed to manage and regulate the rhythm of the heart. Implantable within the body, this technological marvel plays a crucial role in maintaining a steady heartbeat. Through the emission of carefully calibrated electrical pulses, the pacemaker takes charge of orchestrating the heart's rhythm, providing a lifeline for those grappling with irregular heartbeats or conditions affecting the heart's intrinsic pacemaking system. For individuals facing cardiac challenges, the pacemaker serves as a silent guardian, continuously monitoring the heart's every beat. When irregularities arise, the pacemaker intervenes, ensuring that the heart beats in a synchronized and efficient manner. This intervention is pivotal in enhancing the overall quality of life for patients, alleviating symptoms associated with heart rhythm abnormalities.
