The document discusses the history and function of the pacemaker, a device invented in 1958 by doctors Rune Elmqvist and Ake Senning that uses electric pulses to regulate abnormal heart rhythms. It was later upgraded by American engineer Wilson Greatbatch and allows those with slow heart rates to live normally. Pacemakers are small, require battery recharging, and monitoring by doctors.

The pacemaker not really affect the human life, he is small and you just need to recharge the battery.
You need to control it with a doctor or a specialist.
But how the pacemakers work ?
The pacemaker send little electric impulses in the hearth of the patient for accelerated it with a
