Archivo: Cardiac pacer with sold-state power source

Description: A medical device that generates electrical impulses delivered by electrodes to cause the heart muscle chambers (the upper, or atria and/or the lower, or ventricles) to contract and therefore pump blood; by doing so this device replaces and/or regulates the function of the electrical conduction system of the heart. Pacer designed by Anthony J. Adducci and Arthur Schwalm.
