Pediatric Pacemakers & Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD)
Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators are small electronic devices used to help regulate heart rhythm when it is too fast or too slow. Both fast and slow heart rhythms can decrease cardiac output (the amount of blood that the heart pumps each minute). Without these devices, arrhythmia can lead to symptoms like fatigue, exercise intolerance or fainting.
