Pacemakers are small electric devices that, when implanted in a patient's chest, help to regulate the patient's heart beat. They do this by delivering up to 100,000 small electric shocks a day, which cause the heart muscles to contract. The operation shown here was filmed at the Toronto General Hospital, and explained by Toronto heart surgeon Dr. James A. Key. <28mn>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
