notes: label: Description (Brief)

This particular pacemaker, the Revo MRI SureScan pacing system was designed to allow patients to undergo MRI diagnostic testing.
label: Description (Brief)
content: Pacemakers were created for patients who experienced Stokes-Adams Syndrome; a loss of consciousness due to a change in the hearts rhythm resulting from complete or partial heart block or heart block after open heart surgery. A slow or irregular heart rhythm is called Bradycardia, usually fewer than 60 beats per minute. At this slow rate the heart is not able to pump enough oxygen-rich blood to your body during normal activity or exercise.
