A pacemaker is a medical device that uses electrical impulses, delivered by electrodes contacting the heart muscles, to regulate the heartbeat. The primary purpose of a pacemaker is to maintain an adequate heart rate, either because the heart's natural pacemaker is not fast enough or the other possible reason could be heart disease or block in the heart's electrical conduction system.
