   When was the first implantable pacemaker invented?

   • On May 7, 1958, Greatbatch brought what would become the world's first implantable pacemaker to the animal lab at the hospital. There, Chardack and another surgeon, Dr. Andrew Gage, exposed the heart of a dog to which they touched the two pacing wires. The heart proceeded to beat in synchrony with the device. The three looked at each other.

   How many pacemakers were implanted in 2023?

   • An estimated 1.43 million pacemakers were implanted worldwide in 2023 alone. These advanced cardiac devices have come a long way since the earliest inventions and understandings of heart rhythm and cardiac pacing. Let us explore the incredible journey of the pacemaker and what the future holds for this life-saving technology.

   How did paediatric open heart surgery contribute to the development of pacemakers?

   • This was the consequence of a remarkable co-operation among surgeons, physicians, engineers, chemists, businessmen and patients. The field of paediatric open heart surgery gave a major impetus to the development of pacemakers since heart block often accompanied impeccably performed intra-cardiac repairs of congenital defects.
