| How to care for your pacemaker |
A pacemaker is implanted surgically to regulate the heart beat.. More than half a million Americans have a pacemaker.
A pacemaker can be used to treat many abnormal heart rhythms. Pacemakers can adapt to your body needs from moment to moment, beating fasting during exercise and slowing down at rest.
Pacemaker insertion procedures are simple and safe. Complications are rare. You can return to your regular activities shortly after the procedure.
