How many implants in his life did the world's first heart pacemaker patient ,arne larsson get
Answers
The world's first implantable pacemaker patient, Arne Larsson, went on to receive 26 different pacemakers during his lifetime.
An electrode is placed next to the heart wall and small electrical charges travel through the wire to the heart. Most pacemakers have a sensing mode that inhibits the pacemaker from sending impulses when the heartbeat is above a certain level. It allows the pacemaker to fire when the heartbeat is too slow.
