do you wear or have a pacemaker
A pacemaker is a small but very sophisticated electronic device that is implanted under the skin to help regulate the heart beat. Pacemakers are used to keep a person's heart rate from going too slowly, and to help coordinate the beating of the cardiac chambers -- the atria and ventricles.
A pacemaker is implanted under the skin, usually on the left side of the chest below the collarbone. The procedure takes about an hour, and most patients go home within a day. Types of pacemakers vary; some correct a slow heartbeat, while others stop an irregular heartbeat or stop severe heart failure.
