A look at pacemakers A pacemaker is an artificial device that electrically stimulates the myocardium to depolarize which begins a contraction. Pacemakers may be used when a patient has an arrhythmia such as certain bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias sick sinus syndrome or atrioventricular AV blocks. The device may be temporary or permanent depending on the patient s condition. Pacemakers are commonly necessary following myocardial infarction or cardiac surgery. And the beat goes on. Pacemakers work by generating an impulse from a power source and transmitting that impulse to the heart muscle. The impulse flows throughout the heart and causes the heart muscle to depolarize. Pacemakers consist of three components the pulse generator the pacing leads and the electrode .
