pacemaker

listen to the pronunciation of pacemaker
English - English
A set of nerves which stimulate the heart to beat
One who sets the pace in a race, to guide the others
A medical implement that is used to stimulate a heart to beat by simulating the action of the natural pacemaker
A surgically implanted electronic device that helps regulate the heartbeat
an artificial pulse generator that delivers an electrical current to the heart to stimulate depolarization
a specialized bit of heart tissue that controls the heartbeat
an implanted electronic device that takes over the function of the natural cardiac pacemaker
A device used primarily to correct some types of bradycardia, or slow heart rhythms The pacemaker is implanted in the body, usually below the collarbone, where it monitors the heart rhythm and supplies electrical triggers to the heart if it is beating too slowly
an electronic device that is surgically placed in the patient's body and connected to the heart to regulate the heartbeat
An electrical device used to cause heart contractions and control heartbeats
an electronic device that is surgically implanted into the patient's heart and chest to regulate heartbeat
A pacemaker is a competitor in a race whose task is to start the race very quickly in order to help the other runners achieve a very fast time. Pacemakers usually stop before the race is finished. Source of rhythmic electrical impulses that trigger heart contractions. In the heart's electrical system, impulses generated at a natural pacemaker are conducted to the atria and ventricles. Heart surgery or certain diseases can interrupt conduction (heart block), requiring use of a temporary or permanent artificial pacemaker. A small electrode attached to an electric generator outside the body is threaded through a vein into the heart. The generator, inserted beneath the skin, produces regular pulses of electric charge to maintain the heartbeat. Permanent pacemakers can also be implanted on the heart's surface
A surgically implanted electrical device used to cause heart contractions and control heartbeats
-See permanent cardiac pacemaker
an electronic device that is surgically implanted into the patient's heart and chest to regulate heartbeat
A pacemaker is a device that is placed inside someone's body in order to help their heart beat in the right way. She was fitted with a pacemaker after suffering serious heart trouble
A small electronic device is implanted under the skin and sends electrical impulses to the heart muscle to maintain a suitable heart rate and to prevent slow heart rates
An electrical device that delivers electrical impulses to produce a heartbeat of desired frequency Implantable pacemakers are the mainstay of treatment for bradycardia, and are also useful for some tachycardias
A device, which may be implanted in the chest with electrodes attached to the external cardiac surface, that controls the heart's rhythm by artificial electric discharges
A pacemaker is a small battery-operated electronic device that is used to help the heart beat regularly Can be used in the treatment of arrhythmia (Read about "Arrhythmia")
The "natural " pacemaker of the heart is called the sinus node The sinus node is a small mass of special cells in the top of the right atrium of the heart It produces the electrical impulse that goes to the left atrium and travels down to reach the ventricular muscle These impulses cause the heart to contract or beat The term "artificial pacemaker" is applied to an electrical device that can be used to replace a defective natural pacemaker or conduction pathway The artificial pacemaker controls the heart's beating and rhythm by sending out a series of electrical signals Pulmonary artery The large artery that receives blood from the right ventricle and takes it to the lungs
Electrical device designed to stimulate regular beating of the heart, using electrodes implanted in the body
an implanted electronic device that takes over the function of the natural cardiac pacemaker a specialized bit of heart tissue that controls the heartbeat
a leading instance in its field; "the new policy will be a pacesetter in community relations"
a small battery placed under the skin and joined to the heart by pacing wires, which measure the pulse and corrects too fast or too slow rhythms
{i} pacesetter; one who sets the example; device inserted into the body which mechanically regulates the heartbeat (Medicine); muscle of the heart which regulates the heartbeat by sending out rhythmic electrical impulses (Anatomy)
A device that delivers electrical stimulus to the heart, causing it to contract The "natural" pacemaker of the heart is the sinus node
A pacemaker is a small surgically implantable device which can control the heart's rhythm when it beats too slowly Current pacemakers can be implanted in less than one hour and require only a small incision to place the control device and battery under the skin Most pacemakers will last 5-10 years before battery replacement is necessary Percutaneous Coronary Angioplasty -- Coronary artery atherosclerosis can occlude blood flow to the heart muscle Angioplasty opens arteries blocked by atherosclerosis and allows blood to flow freely to the heart muscle without open heart surgery It opens a clogged artery by inflating a tiny balloon in the vessel, pushing the plaque aside Pericardium -- Fibrous sac that encloses the heart
An implanted electronic device connected to the heart with the purpose of coordinating contraction of cardiac muscle
—A small electronic device that is surgically implanted to stimulate the heart muscle to provide a normal heartbeat
a horse used to set the pace in racing
cardiac pacemaker
electrical device which stimulates and regulates the heartbeat by delivering weak electrical pulses to the cardiac muscle at regular intervals (Cardiology)
inserting a pacemaker
surgically implanting a device which maintains a normal heart rate
pacemakers
plural of pacemaker
Turkish - English
(Biyoloji) pacemaker
yapay pacemaker
(Tıp) artificial pacemaker
