Question

How does an artificial pacemaker work?

Answer 1

It sends an electrical impulse to make your heart beat. The job of a pacemaker is to artificially take over the role of your sinus node if it isn't working properly. Electrical impulses are sent by the pacemaker to stimulate your heart to contract and produce a heartbeat

Answer 2

A pacemaker helps monitor and control your heartbeat. The electrodes detect your heart's electrical activity and send data through the wires to the computer in the generator. If your heart rhythm is abnormal, the computer will direct the generator to send electrical pulses to your heart.
