Solving heart rhythm issues with pacemakers
In his latest online article, Mr Mohamed Al-Obaidi gives us his insights into pacemaker. The human heart, a marvel of natural engineering, relies on an intricate electrical conduction system to maintain its rhythm and functionality. This system includes a natural pacemaker and a network of "wiring" that enables synchronised heartbeats. However, like any complex electrical system, problems can arise over time, leading to a range of cardiac issues. In such cases, the installation of a pacemaker becomes a crucial intervention to address these "wiring" faults and restore the heart's proper rhythm and function.
