In this cardiology-focused lecture, we explore the essential role of cardiac pacemakers — medical devices used to regulate abnormal heart rhythms. Learn how pacemakers work, when they are implanted, and the types used in clinical cardiology today.
???? What’s covered in this video:
What is a Pacemaker and why it’s used
How pacemakers work:
• Electrical impulses and heart rhythm control
• On-demand pacing and heart activity sensing
Components:
• Pulse generator (battery and circuitry)
• Leads and electrodes
Types of pacemakers:
Temporary pacemakers (short-term use)
Permanent pacemakers
Biventricular pacemakers (for heart failure)
Rate-responsive pacemakers (adapt to activity)
Indications for pacemaker implantation:
• Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
• Tachyarrhythmias
• Heart block
• Sick sinus syndrome
• Heart failure requiring synchronization
