Abstract
A cardiac pacemaker is a device that treats cardiac dysrhythmia by rapidly tracking the heart rate and rhythm of a subject. Cardiac pacemakers deliver rhythmic electric stimulus in a controlled manner to the heart to maintain the heartbeat. The ability to deliver a periodic and administrated electric stimulus made the implantable and wearable cardiac pacemakers a reality in today’s globally emerging world of healthcare devices. Different researchers have not only made the heavy pacemakers undergo a physical change in terms of reduction in size and weight but also economical and within reach to many, thus being a lifesaver. A discussion on the functionality of the human heart through its electrical activity is presented in this chapter. Also, the characteristics and parameters of a typical ECG signal and various noises that corrupt an ECG signal are discussed.
