Effective procedures to keep your heart healthy and beating.
Heart implants are medical devices that are implanted in the body to help the heart maintain a steady and regular heart rhythm and flow of blood in the body. Some of the devices that monitor the heart rhythm are the pacemaker and the Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). These decided are implanted inside the body and are battery operated. They sense any irregularities with the heart rhythm and signal the heart to return to its normal rhythm. Another implant is the left ventricle assist divide. This device helps the heart in pumping out blood to the whole body. This is needed when the heart muscles are too weak to pump the blood itself.
