Artificial Pacemaker

A device designed to stimulate, by electric impulses, contraction of the heart muscles. It may be temporary (external) or permanent (internal or internal-external).

Also Known As:

Pacemaker, Artificial; Artificial Cardiac Pacemaker; Artificial Cardiac Pacemakers; Artificial Pacemakers; Cardiac Pacemakers, Artificial; Pacemaker, Artificial Cardiac; Pacemakers, Artificial; Pacemakers, Artificial Cardiac; Cardiac Pacemaker, Artificial
