Abstract
An artificial pacemaker is an electronic device in which rhythmic electric stimulus is used which helps in maintaining an appropriate heart rhythm for a long time of the heart muscle which consequently regulates the pumping of the heart. The components of the pacemaker are: pulse generator, circuitry package, a battery (wirelessly charged) and lead system. Indication for installation of an everlasting pacemaker and the opposite pacemaker mode selection are created usually by keeping cardiac diseases in mind.
