Materials Used In Pacemakers Image result for what is a pacemakerThe way how a pacemaker is constructed is very crucial to how it would function later. The materials used to construct pacemakers must be non-toxic‚ sterilisable and able to function in the environmental conditions of the body. Some of the fundamental parts of the pacemaker such as the casing‚ battery‚ circuitry and the leads are all made with biocompatible materials or non-toxic materials. Usually‚ the casing along with the lead is

The primary purpose of a pacemaker is to maintain an adequate heart rate‚ either because the heart’s natural pacemaker is too slow‚ too fast or has an irregular rhythm‚ this problem is called arrhythmias. A pacemaker can also relieve symptoms such as fatigue and fainting along with blockages in
