with irregularity in the heart rhythm

Answer 2

Artificial pacemaker is a medical device designed to regulate the beating of the heart. The purpose of an artificial pacemaker is to stimulate the heart when either the heart?? native pacemaker is not fast enough or if there are blocks in the heart?? electrical conducting system preventing the propagation of electrical impulses from the native pacemaker to the lower chambers of the heart, known as the ventricles. Generally, pacemakers do not treat fast rhythms of the heart.
