Two malfunctioning connected to the pacemaker provided the energy to stimulate the heart. This first model had to be replaced by a new one after only a few hours. The technology however rapidly improved. Models of increasing complexity met the specific requirements of a standard heart. Today pacemakers with a life of ten years are electrodes in modern cardiology. At the moment we are evaluating an interesting new design proposal. Pharmaceutical and high-tech companies tend to spend a lot on research. Our investment increased for some years and then reached a plateau. Explain it to me in simple terms that a layperson could understand. The fuzzy front end is an important phase in the RD process. One idea-generating technique that we use is attribute listing. In the right upper chamber of the heart there is a small piece of tissue called the sinu-atrial (SA) node. 在右心房上有一块很小的被称之为窦房结的组织。 This type of pacemaker is used in patients whose heart rate is too fast, a condition called tachycardia; whose heart rate is too slow, which is called bradycardia; or who have a blockage that prevents the heart’s electrical conduction system from working properly. 这种类型的起搏器可用于心跳频率过快，即心动过速的患者，或者心跳频率过慢，即心动过缓者，或者由于心脏堵塞影响心脏电传导系统正常工作的患者。 Although, all the heart cells posses the ability to generate electrical impulses or action potentials, SA node normally initiates it and is responsible for the whole heart’s beat, simply because it generates impulses slightly faster than other areas with pacemaker potential. 尽管所有的心脏细胞都具有产生电脉冲或动作电位的能力，通常是窦房结最先开始电脉冲活动，进而对整个心脏活动负责，因为具备起搏点电位的窦房结产生电脉冲的速度快于其他区域。 There are three chief types of implantable pacemakers: single-chamber pacemakers, dual-chamber pacemakers and rate-responsive pacemakers. 有三种主要类型的植入式心脏起搏器：单腔起搏器，双腔起搏器和频率应答起搏器。 Fitting the body of an artificial pacemaker is fairly easy. Fitting the leads, though, can be tricky; impossible, even, in some patients. 人造起搏器主体的安装比较简单，但导线的安装却很棘手，在一些患者的体内甚至根本无法安装。 Researchers state that SCA is the result of a “ventr
