pacemaker implant
Heart rhythm regulator
A pacemaker implant is a small electronic device surgically placed in the chest to regulate heartbeat.
It sends electrical pulses to the heart when it detects irregular or slow rhythms: She's scheduled for a pacemaker implant next week.
The procedure is common and generally low-risk, with the device lasting years before battery replacement.
