Pacemaker, Artificial -- adverse effects : Transvenous lead extraction : from simple traction to internal transjugular approach / Maria Grazia Bongiorni, editor ; foreword by Bruce L. Wilkoff
Types of artificial pacemakers with implantable leads to be placed at multiple intracardial sites. They are used to treat various cardiac conduction disturbances which interfere with the timing of contraction of the ventricles. They may or may not include defibrillating electrodes (IMPLANTABLE DEFIBRILLATORS) as well
A device designed to stimulate, by electric impulses, contraction of the heart muscles. It may be temporary (external) or permanent (internal or internal-external)
