How does a cardiac pacemaker work?
- All cardiac pacemakers are generally composed of a pulse generator that generates the electrical current required for stimulation of heart musculature and one or two electrodes (also referred to as leads), which are responsible for transmitting the electrical activity generated by the pulse generator to the heart musculature.
