You have to remember what things were like in those days. When a permanent myocardial pacemaker failed suddenly it was always a disaster because Stokes-Adams seizures would recur. Whichever one of us learned of the problem first would start his phone conversation to the others with "what night is it?" It was always Saturday, my wife was always in the midst of serving dinner to twelve guests, and Mr. Jones was convulsing in the emergency room because his pacemaker had broken. After instructing… Expand

TLDR
The pacemaker represents a prime example of an dreamed of and the world pacemaker market is now well over interdisciplinary development deriving from the work of 300,000 units per year. Expand
Cardiac pacing, 1960-1985: a quarter century of medical and industrial innovation.
TLDR
One important aspect of the broader transformation of cardiovascular medicine: the development of pacemaker technology to treat bradyarrhythmias is discussed, particularly in the sources of innovation in pacing, a field known for rapid shifts in hardware and techniques. Expand
Chest pain associated with moderator band pacing.
TLDR
This case shows that chest pain can be associated with the placement of a right ventricular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead in the moderator band and that symptomatic relief can occur after percutaneous lead extraction and the implantation of a newright ventricular lead to the mid septal region.

Leadless cardiac pacing: What primary care providers and non-EP cardiologists should know
TLDR
Leadless cardiac pacing involves a self-contained pacemaker deployed directly into the heart without a lead or incisional access, and has shown promise, eliminating pocket-related complications. Expand

TLDR
The sophistication of modern designs, together with the introduction of the automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator, has broadened the indications for the implantation of cardiac pacemakers, making them serious competitors to drug therapies for most of the aforementioned conditions. Expand
Advantages of Right-Sided Implantation of Permanent Cardiac Pacemakers Performed by a Surgeon
A pacemaker is a medical device which uses electrical impulses, delivered by electrodes contacting the heart muscles, to regulate the beating of the heart. The primary purpose of a pacemaker is to… Expand
