S03_E11 - Keeping Up with Pacemakers
The heart is pretty amazing. In the orchestra the human body, the heart is the conductor, but sometimes, even the most skilled maestro needs a little backup. Enter pacemakers, the tiny conductors that can help us keep the beat. But when might you need one? How are they implanted? How long do they last? And can I still use the microwave?
Join us to learn about the world of pacemakers with our guest, Dr. Rehan Karim. He's an electrophysiologist (fantastic scrabble word, btw...) and he'll walk us through some basics on the electrical system of our hearts, how pacemakers work, what the lived experience is like with one, and some of the latest developments for this amazing technology. Did you know that the first pacemaker was made in MInnesota? Find out more about these life-changing devices, on Episode 11!
