Device typeExternal pacemaker, epicardial pacing: An external pulse generator (EPG) designed to generate periodic electrical cardiac pacing impulses and transmits them to the heart via invasive (percutaneous) leads to stimulate the heart when the sino-atrial (SA) node is not functioning properly or when the heart has a conductive disorder. It is commonly used: 1) in an emergency; 2) during surgery; or 3) following open-heart surgery until the heart recovers. It is not intended for defibrillation or cardioversion. The leads (not included) are inserted into the heart through a major vein (e.g., subclavian) or attached directly to the heart wall.
