Cardiac stimulation is a type of electrically stimulation of the heart muscle and often by using a pacemaker to regulate the hearts rhythm.

The pacemaker regulates the hearts rhythm by delivering electrical impulses to the heart which trigger a contraction.

As a result of the electrical impulses it forces the heart to beat at a desired rate when the natural rhythm of the heart is abnormal or too slow.

Pacemakers and cardiac stimulation is often used to treat slow heart rates like bradycardia by initiating a heartbeat artificially.

Pacemakers are a small, implantable medical device which helps to regulate your hearts rhythm.

A pacemaker consists of a generator battery and electrode leads which are inserted into your heart.

During an arrhythmia, your heart can beat too fast or too slow or with a rhythm that is irregular.

Pacemakers help the heart keep it's proper rhythm and rate by sending electrical impulses to help the heart beat at a normal heart rate and rhythm.

Some ways you can help improve your heart health include.

Balance calories with physical activity.
Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables.
Choose whole grains.
Include healthy protein sources, mostly plants and seafood.
Use non-tropical liquid plant oils.
Choose minimally processed foods.
Subtract added sugars.
