Pacemaker-”A pacemaker is a small
device that's placed in the chest or
abdomen to help control abnormal
heart rhythms. This device uses
electrical pulses to prompt the heart
to beat at a normal rate…Abnormal
heart beats can cause symptoms
such as fatigue (tiredness),
shortness of breath, or fainting.
Severe arrhythmias can damage the
body's vital organs and may even
cause loss of consciousness or
death”
