What is Pacemaker? A pacemaker is a small device implanted in the chest to control the heartbeat. It is used to prevent the heart from beating too slowly. Why Pacemaker Implantation? * To ensure that the heart rate doesn't drop to a dangerously low rate * If the heart cannot pump enough blood to the body in accordance to metabolic demands secondary to a slow heart rate * To correct a chronically slow heart rate #kghospital #cardiology #cardiologia #kgh #pacemaker #kghospitalcoimbatore #cardio #h
