description | Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have revolutionized cardiology by providing life-saving interventions for patients with cardiac rhythm disturbances. Pacing the heart is an effective treatment for people suffering from bradycardia caused by sinus node dysfunction or atrioventricular (AV) block, and electronic pacing has saved countless lives since its introduction into clinical practice. AV synchronization is the typical cycle of atrial depolarization and contraction followed by ventricular depolarization and contraction. The continuation of this cycle leads to appropriate ventricular filling and cardiac output. By contrast, the failure of the cycle results in AV asynchrony, which may result in heart failure. Cardiac resynchronization treatment (CRT) involves using customized pacemakers with or without implantable cardioverter defibrillators and tries to resynchronize the failing heart by enhancing myocardial contraction without increasing energy consumption. This review delves into the extensive journey of pacemakers and ICDs in the field of cardiology. It highlights the transformative impact of these devices on patient care and quality of life, emphasizing technological advancements, clinical applications, and prospects. This comprehensive review aims to provide insights into the dynamic landscape of cardiac rhythm management. |
