Fingers hold a heart pacemaker for implantation
Heart pacemaker. Fingers hold a WG 8950 heart pacemaker which will be implanted in a patients chest. Pacemakers supply electrical impulses to the heart to maintain a regular heartbeat. They correct a condition called heart block, in which the hearts natural pacemaker fails to work properly because of heart disease. The device fits just below the skin and allows the patient to lead a normal, active life. The pacemaker seen here is a standard design which has been modified at Munich University, Germany. It has had a sensor incorporated into it which detects the amount of blood the body requires, & speeds the pacemakers impulses in response to physical exercise

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a pair of gentle fingers delicately cradle a life-saving device known as the WG 8950 heart pacemaker. This remarkable piece of medical equipment is about to be implanted into a patient's chest, offering hope and restoring normalcy to their life. Heart pacemakers play an essential role in maintaining a regular heartbeat by supplying electrical impulses to the heart. They are particularly effective in treating heart block, a condition that arises when the natural pacemaker fails due to underlying heart disease. The modified design showcased here has been developed at Munich University in Germany. What sets this particular pacemaker apart is its incorporation of an ingenious sensor that detects the body's demand for blood and adjusts the pace maker's impulses accordingly during physical exercise. By doing so, it enables patients to lead active lives without compromising their cardiac health. This awe-inspiring image reminds us of the incredible advancements made in medicine and healthcare technology. It symbolizes not only scientific progress but also compassion and dedication towards improving patients' quality of life. Captured by Science Photo Library, this photograph serves as a powerful testament to human ingenuity and our unwavering commitment to conquering medical challenges through innovation and research.
