Dual-chamber implantable pacemaker, demand (A battery-powered device consisting of a hermetically-sealed pulse generator, implanted beneath the skin of the chest in a surgically-created pocket, with pacing leads in or on two chambers of the heart (right atrium and ventricle). It is intended to stimulate the two chambers to beat in their natural sequence, to mimic the normal heart's activity, by generating and conducting electrical impulses to the heart when it senses the electrical activity in the chambers are abnormal [e.g., when the heart beats too slowly (bradycardia) or has other abnormal rhythms (arrhythmias)]; it is not intended to provide defibrillation therapy.)
