Excerpted from the website:
- (Extracted from IEEE Virtual Museum )
- The heart is a four-chambered muscle that pumps blood through your body. Normally the contraction of heart muscle is well regulated. Muscle fibers surrounding a chamber contract in unison (all at the same time) and the different chambers work together to move the blood. The electrical impulses that bring about this coordination sometimes, however, fail. It is possible to keep a person alive and even restore him to normal activity by providing correct impulses from some artificial source. This is what a cardiac pacemaker does.
