2. Artificial cardiac pacemaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_cardiac_pacemaker

   They began designing and testing their implantable cardiac pacemaker powered by a new longer-life lithium battery in 1971. The first patient to receive a CPI pacemaker emerged from surgery in June 1973. [87] [89] Liza Morton was fitted with an implantable pacemaker at 11 days old in 1978, at Glasgow’s Yorkhill hospital, Scotland.

3. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implantable_cardioverter...

   A normal chest X-ray after placement of an ICD, showing the ICD generator in the upper left chest and the ICD lead in the right ventricle of the heart. Note the 2 opaque coils along the ICD lead. The process of implantation of an ICD system is similar to implantation of an artificial pacemaker. In fact, ICDs are composed of an ICD generator and ...

4. Cardiac pacemaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_pacemaker

   An artificial cardiac pacemaker (or artificial pacemaker, so as not to be confused with the natural cardiac pacemaker) or just pacemaker is an implanted medical device that generates electrical impulses delivered by electrodes to the chambers of the heart either the upper atria, or lower ventricles to cause the targeted chambers to contract and ...

7. Pacemaker syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacemaker_syndrome

   Pacemaker syndrome is a condition that represents the clinical consequences of suboptimal atrioventricular (AV) synchrony or AV dyssynchrony, regardless of the pacing mode, after pacemaker implantation. [1] [2] It is an iatrogenic disease—an adverse effect resulting from medical treatment—that is often underdiagnosed.

8. Artificial heart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_heart

   An artificial heart is an artificial organ device that replaces the heart.Artificial hearts are typically used to bridge the time to complete heart transplantation surgery, but research is ongoing to develop a device that could permanently replace the heart in the case that a heart transplant (from a deceased human or, experimentally, from a deceased genetically engineered pig) is unavailable ...

9. 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.
