Pacemaker in heart disease, X-ray
Pacemaker in heart disease. Coloured chest X-ray showing a pacemaker (right) fitted to a 73-year-old male patient with an enlarged heart (cardiomegaly) atrial fibrillation, ischaemic heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A pacemaker supplies electrical impulses to the heart to maintain the heartbeat at a regular rate. It may be external (worn on a belt) or internal (implanted in the chest, as here)

This print showcases a coloured chest X-ray that reveals the presence of a pacemaker in a patient with various health conditions. The image focuses on the right side of the chest, where a pacemaker is clearly visible. This life-saving device has been implanted in a 73-year-old male patient who suffers from an enlarged heart (cardiomegaly), atrial fibrillation, ischaemic heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The pacemaker plays a crucial role in maintaining the regular rhythm of this patient's heartbeat by supplying electrical impulses to his heart. It serves as both an external and internal mechanism for ensuring proper cardiac function. When worn externally, it can be conveniently attached to a belt for easy access and monitoring. However, in this case, it has been surgically implanted within the chest. The intricate details captured by Dr P. Marazzi through this horizontal X-ray image offer viewers an opportunity to witness medical science at work. The photograph not only highlights the technological advancements achieved in treating heart diseases but also emphasizes the importance of such interventions for patients with complex health conditions. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Storehouse, let us appreciate how medical innovations like pacemakers continue to transform lives and provide hope for individuals battling serious cardiovascular ailments.
