südamestimulaatori
Südamestimulaatori, also known as cardiac pacemakers, are medical devices used to regulate the heart's rhythm. They are typically implanted under the skin, usually in the chest area, and consist of a battery, a pulse generator, and electrodes. The pulse generator sends electrical signals to the heart muscle, helping it to beat at a regular rate. This is particularly useful for individuals with conditions such as bradycardia, where the heart beats too slowly, or atrioventricular block, where the electrical signals that coordinate the heart's contractions are disrupted.
There are different types of pacemakers, including single-chamber, dual-chamber, and biventricular pacemakers. Single-chamber pacemakers stimulate only
The implantation of a pacemaker is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. The device is programmed
