2. Pacemaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacemaker

   Because decreased pacemaker stimuli do not result in a ventricular escape rhythm, the patient can be said to be pacemaker-dependent and needs a definitive pacemaker. Temporary epicardial pacing is used during open heart surgery should the surgical procedure create atrio-ventricular block.

3. Pacemaker failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacemaker_failure

   Failure of a pacemaker is defined by the requirement of repeat surgical pacemaker-related procedures after the initial implantation. Most implanted pacemakers are dual chambered and have two leads, causing the implantation time to take longer because of this more complicated pacemaker system.

5. Transcutaneous pacing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcutaneous_pacing

   It should not be confused with defibrillation (used in more serious cases, in ventricular fibrillation and other shockable rhythms) using a manual or automatic defibrillator, though some newer defibrillators can do both, and pads and an electrical stimulus to the heart are used in transcutaneous pacing and defibrillation.

6. Pacemaker syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacemaker_syndrome

   Individuals with a low heart rate prior to pacemaker implantation are more at risk of developing pacemaker syndrome. Normally the first chamber of the heart (atrium) contracts as the second chamber (ventricle) is relaxed, allowing the ventricle to fill before it contracts and pumps blood out of the heart.

7. Cardiomyoplasty - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiomyoplasty

   Cardiomyoplasty is a surgical procedure in which healthy muscle from another part of the body is wrapped around the heart to provide support for the failing heart. [1] Most often the latissimus dorsi muscle is used for this purpose. A special pacemaker is implanted to make the skeletal muscle contract.

8. Apicoaortic conduit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apicoaortic_Conduit

   When an apicoaortic conduit is implanted, blood continues to flow from the heart through the aortic valve. In addition, blood flow bypasses the native valve and exits the heart through the implanted valved conduit. The procedure is effective at relieving excessive pressure gradient across the natural valve.
