Pacemaker
- an electronic device that
provides electrical stimuli to
the heart
- Components
- generator
- circuit and batteries that
determine the rate,
strength, and sensitivity
- sensitivity: detects the
intracadiac electrical activity
to cause an appropriate
response measured in
milivolts
- If it can't see activity
it will either fire when
it shouldn't or not fire
when it should
- To what extent can the
pacemaker realize what the
patient's heart needs?
Does the pacemaker know
what's going on in a
patient's heart rhythmn?
- If it can't see activity
it will either fire when
it shouldn't or not fire
when it should
- threshold: How
much electrical
charge that we need
to produce a
mechanical
contraction?
- sensitivity: detects the
intracadiac electrical activity
to cause an appropriate
response measured in
milivolts
- circuit and batteries that
determine the rate,
strength, and sensitivity
- electrodes
- carry the impulse
created by the
generator to the
heart
- carry the impulse
created by the
generator to the

- Indication: slow pulse
formation, AV or
ventricular conduction
