Pacemaker and artificial heart valves. Frontal chest X-ray of a 71-year-old patient with heart failure, showing a pacemaker (centre-left) and artificial heart valves (centre-right) used to replace both the aortic and mitral valves of the heart. A pacemaker is a device that supplies electrical impulses to a malfunctioning heart to maintain the heartbeat at a regular rate.
