How a defibrillator differs from a pacemaker
I've seen emergency defibrillators in public places, but I've also heard that some people need to wear them or have them implanted for heart rhythm problems. Can you explain the differences?
Dear Doctor Roach: What’s the difference between a pacemaker and a defibrillator? -- T.S.B. Answer: Both are implantable devices to treat electrical problems of the heart. A pacemaker is a much older ...
BOSTON -- A leadless pacemaker reliably communicated with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) to deliver anti-tachycardia (ATP) and bradycardia pacing, the MODULAR ATP study ...
