Synopsis
Pacemakers work by regulating the heart's electrical impulses, ensuring proper blood flow. As technology improves, the list of treatable conditions grows, leading to over half a million pacemakers implanted each year. The heart consists of four chambers: two atria and two ventricles, with one-way valves connecting the atria to the ventricles. Blood is pumped through these chambers as they contract and relax. This documentary highlights how advancements in pacemaker technology enhance treatment options for various heart conditions.
