There are cardiac electrophysiologists implant devices that either help the hearts electrical system to function properly or measure the heart rhythm. These devices include a pacemaker, implanted under the skin of the chest to produce electrical pulses that keep the heart beating normally and manage the heart rhythm disorders, such as when the heart beats too slowly or beats irregularly. Biventricular pacemakers are implanted if other medications don’t relieve symptoms of heart failure. The other medical device doctors may employ is an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, which helps in shocking the hearts rhythm back to normal for patients with fast irregular heartbeats, called ventricular arrhythmias. The last option is the implantable cardiac loop recorder, which monitors the hearts electrical activity for up to three years before replacement is required.
