About the pacemaker
About the Pacemaker
- A device used medically to create electric waves to trigger the heart to pump blood
- Regulates the speed that your heart pumps blood
- Can even pump blood when your own heart can not
- Very commonly used by elderly people and a few million have been implanted
Variations of the Pacemaker
Variations of the pacemaker
One of the different variations is the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator which was developed at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore by a team of many scientists.
Yet another variation is named the biventricular pacemaker which allows people to live through heart failure.
Effects on life, medicine & science
It's effects on life, medicine, and science
The pacemaker is a huge breakthrough in the world of science and medicine. The pacemaker has saved millions of lives and it proves that humans can utilise resources on Earth to artificially improve life expectancy.
Social Impact
According to the European Heart Journal, after biventricular pacemaker is implanted life expectancy gets increased by 15 years.
The social effect of the increase in 15 years life expectancy includes things such as the population increasing faster
Social Impact
Effect On Medicine
The pacemaker had huge effects on medicine, because of it's lifesaving abilities.
Effect on Medicine
Economic Impact
The economic impact was huge, because they cost several thousand dolars and that boosted the economy extremely.
