AB  - In  400  BCE,  Hippocrates  observed  that  persons  who  suffered  severe  attacks  of  swooning  without  any  manifest  cause  died  suddenly.  The  artificial  electronic  pacemaker  has  been  one  of  the  great  technological  advances  in  cardiology,  able  to  provide  a  remedy  for  many  of  the  conditions  that  were  recognized  by  Hippocrates  more  than  two  millennia  ago.  Until  the  development  of  the  pacemaker,  there  were  few  options  for  patients  with  conduction  system  failure.  Today’s  sophisticated  devices  are  used  to  treat  not  only  bradyarrhythmias  and  heart  block,  but  also  have  antitachycardia  functions  and  play  an  increasing  role  in  the  treatment  of  heart  failure.
