Pacemaker. Chest X-ray showing a pacemaker (upper right) in a 75-year-old patient with a history of chronic obstructed pulmonary disorder (COPD), pulmonary embolism and coronary artery bypass surgery. Pacemakers supply electrical impulses along wires (long, thin) connected to the heart (centre). These electrical impulses help to keep the heart beating regularly when a patient has an irregular heartbeat (cardiac arrhythmia).
