High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States.

For a patient to receive a pacemaker, a surgeon will have to implant it surgically. When the surgeon implants the pacemaker, they install two components, the pulse generator, and the leads. The pulse generator contains the battery as well as the information to help control the heartbeat. The leads are the wires that the surgeon will connect to the heart as well as the generator. These leads will transfer electrical messages to the heart. https://bit.ly/2AOteeq

An arrhythmia (ah-RITH-me-ah) is a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. Most arrhythmias are harmless, but some can be serious or even life-threatening. During an arrhythmia, the heart may not be able to pump enough blood to the body. Lack of blood flow can damage the brain, heart, and other organs. In the United States, more than 850,000 people are hospitalized for an arrhythmia each year. Visit or call us to learn more! https://bit.ly/2Pwq18M
