The contraction of heart (cardiac) muscle in all animals with hearts is initiated by chemical impulses. The rate at which these impulses fire controls the heart rate. The cells that create these rhythmical impulses are called pacemaker cells, and they directly control the heart rate.

∙ 12y agothe pacemaker of the heart (sinus node) literally keeps the pace of the heart, like a drummer keeps the beat of the song. if the pacemaker speeds up the beating (contractions) of the heart speeds up.

∙ 12y agoWhat a pacemaker does is it helps a persons heart beat properly. I so happen to have a pacemaker. When someones heart is not beating when it is supposed to, the pacemaker sends a painless shock to the heart, and when that shock reaches the heart, the shock sort of wakes up the heart and it starts pumping.

Are the purkinje fibers commonly known as the natural pacemaker?
No, the purkinje fiber is not the natural pacemaker. The sinoatrial node (SA node) is the natural pacemaker of the heart.
Is the bundle of his is known as the natural pacemaker of the heart?
No, the Sinoatrial Node is known as the natural pacemaker of the heart
Where is the Natural pacemaker?
The SA node, the natural pacemaker of the heart, is found in the right atrium of the heart.

What property makes the normal pacemaker region of the heart function as a pacemaker?
The property of the normal pacemaker region is able to provide a normal setting for the heart to beat. It allows the heart to beat at a regular rate.
What name is the rate set by the heart pacemaker?
Pacemakers are set by the surgeon-physician at the time it is implanted. Most times, the pacemaker is simply set to a normal heart rate (around 70-80 beats per minute). The primary function of the pacemaker is to restore a more regular beat when the heart cannot maintain a normal heart rate. You should consult your physician-surgeon for particulars about your pacemaker, its use, function, and signs/symptoms to watch for after the pacemaker is implanted.
Can a TENS unite interfere with a pacemaker?
Because TENS may interfere with pacemaker function, patients with pacemakers should consult a cardiologist before using a TENS unit
What purpose does n artificial pacemaker serve and how does it function?
It keeps your heart at a steady pace.

Will a pace maker work with cloded arteries?
A pacemaker may increase the regularity and reliability of the heart beat. If coronary arteries are clogged, a pacemaker alone may not restore normal cardiac function.
