What is a pacemaker or Defibrillator
... In a pacemaker a magnet causes the pacemaker to Asynchronously pace at a set rate usually 85bpm-100bpm What does this mean? It means that the pacemaker can no longer see what the patients heart is doing and is going to pace at the magnet rate. If the patient is pacemaker dependent or has a HR below ...

Cardiac surgery
Cardiovascular (heart) surgery is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons. Frequently, it is done to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, coronary artery bypass grafting), correct congenital heart disease, or treat valvular heart disease from various causes including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease and atherosclerosis. It also includes heart transplantation.
