Pacemakers are a group of cells that create electric impulses responsible for controlling the rhythmic beating of your heart. However, these cells can be rendered ineffective if the heart undergoes some type of severe trauma, like a heart attack.Artificial pacemakers, designed to aid those who have experienced such trauma, are medical devices that are surgically implanted to stimulate the heart when pacemaker cells are unable to do so. They have been proven effective in treating people suffering from a variety of heart conditions.However, when these pacemakers fail the results are often fatal.
Common Problems With These Pacemakers
Premature battery depletion.
Inappropriate pacing function.
Appearance of a reset warning.
Inappropriate early display of replacement indicators.
