Pacemaker
A pacemaker is a small device that's placed (implanted) in the chest to help control the
heartbeat. It's used to prevent the heart from beating too slowly. Implanting a
pacemaker in the chest requires a surgical procedure.
A pacemaker is also called a cardiac pacing device.
Types
Depending on your condition, you might have one of the following types of pacemakers.
 Single chamber pacemaker. This type usually carries electrical impulses
to the right ventricle of your heart.
 Dual chamber pacemaker. This type carries electrical impulses to the right
ventricle and the right atrium of your heart to help control the timing of
contractions between the two chambers.
How yourheart beats
The heart isa muscular,fist-sizedpumpwithfourchambers,twoon the leftside andtwoon the right.
The upperchambers(rightand leftatria) andthe lowerchambers(rightandleftventricles) workwith
your heart'selectrical systemtokeepyourheartbeatingatan appropriate rate — usually60 to 100
beatsa minute foradultsat rest.
Your heart'selectrical systemcontrolsyourheartbeat,beginninginagroup of cellsat the top of the
heart(sinusnode) andspreadingtothe bottom, causingitto contract and pumpblood.Aging,heart
muscle damage froma heartattack, some medicationsandcertaingeneticconditionscancause an
irregularheartrhythm.
What a pacemaker does
Pacemakers work only when needed. If your heartbeat is too slow (bradycardia), the
pacemaker sends electrical signals to your heart to correct the beat.
Some newer pacemakers also have sensors that detect body motion or breathing rate
and signal the devices to increase heart rate during exercise, as needed.
A pacemaker has two parts:
 Pulse generator. This small metal container houses a battery and the
electrical circuitry that controls the rate of electrical pulses sent to the heart.
 Leads (electrodes). One to three flexible, insulated wires are each placed
in one or more chambers of the heart and deliver the electrical pulses to
adjust the heart rate. However, some newer pacemakers don't require
leads. These devices, called leadless pacemakers, are implanted directly
into the heart muscle.
Special precautions
It's unlikelythatyourpacemakerwouldstopworkingproperlybecause of electrical interference.Still,
you'll needtotake a fewprecautions:
Cellphones.It'ssafe totalkon a cellphone,butkeepyourcellphone atleast6inches(15 centimeters)
away fromyourpacemaker.Don'tkeepyourphone ina shirt pocket.Whentalkingonyourphone,hold
it to the ear opposite the side where yourpacemakerwasimplanted.
Securitysystems.Passingthroughanairportmetal detectorwon'tinterfere withyourpacemaker,
althoughthe metal inthe pacemakercouldsoundthe alarm.But avoidlingeringnearor leaningagainst
a metal-detectionsystem.
To avoidpotential problems,carryanID card statingthatyou have a pacemaker.
Medical equipment.Make sure all yourdoctorsand dentistsknow youhave a pacemaker.Certain
medical procedures,suchasmagneticresonance imaging,CTscans,cancer radiationtreatment,
electrocauterytocontrol bleedingduringsurgery,andshockwave lithotripsytobreakuplarge kidney
stonesor gallstonescouldinterfere withyourpacemaker.
Power-generatingequipment.Standatleast2 feet(61 centimeters) fromweldingequipment,high-
voltage transformersormotor-generatorsystems.If youworkaroundsuch equipment,askyourdoctor
aboutarranging a testin yourworkplace todetermine whetherthe equipmentaffectsyourpacemaker.
Devicesthatare unlikelytointerfere withyourpacemakerincludemicrowaveovens,televisionsand
remote controls,radios,toasters,electricblankets,electricshavers,andelectricdrills.
