Cardiac pacing leads are very thin, flexible wires that are used to deliver electrical pulses from a pacemaker to the heart. They help deliver impulses from the pacemaker to regulate abnormal heart rhythms and contractions. Cardiac pacing leads play a crucial role in cardiac pacing therapy and help improve the quality of life of patients suffering from various cardiac conditions such as bradycardia, heart blocks, and arrhythmias. The growing prevalence of cardiovascular disorders and rising ... Read more
Cardiac pacing leads play an important role in cardiac pacemaker systems. They are the wiring that connects the pacemaker device to the heart muscle and allows it to deliver electrical impulses to regulate the heartbeat.
