WOW 32

WOW 32 - Pacemaker

Good Afternoon Friends,
Today I'm going to talk about something which assists our heart to have a stabilized heart rate. This is useful for those people who either have a block in their heart or have a very slow heart rate.
A pacemaker is a medical device which uses electrical impulses, delivered by electrodes contacting the heart muscles, to regulate the beating of the heart.

Modern pacemakers are externally programmable and allow the cardiologist to select the optimum pacing modes for individual patients. With the advent of information technology age, the pacemakers have gone up in their standards. There is nothing to wonder to know that Pacemaker has gone WiFi.

Now, a woman in New York has become the first in the world to receive a pacemaker that communicates wirelessly with a monitoring service, which is in turn accessed daily by her doctor. Check this link to check this news out on the web.
