Cardiac pacing is the delivery of low-energy electrical impulses to stimulate the heart when its intrinsic conduction system fails.

Cardiac electrical therapies—pacing, defibrillation, and resynchronization—are critical interventions used to manage life-threatening arrhythmias and heart failure. These therapies work by delivering controlled electrical energy to the myocardium to either initiate, reset, or coordinate cardiac contractions.

The device senses the heart's natural electrical activity and only "fires" if the intrinsic rate falls below a set threshold. Cardiac pacing is the delivery of low-energy electrical

The device delivers impulses at a constant rate regardless of the heart's underlying rhythm. This is often triggered during "magnet mode" for testing. Cardiac Pacing, Defibrillation and Resynchroniz...
