Cardiac Pacemakers — Nursing Care
Pacemakers deliver electrical stimuli to maintain adequate heart rate. Types: temporary (transcutaneous, transvenous) and permanent (single, dual, CRT, ICD). Nurses monitor for failure to capture, sense, and pace.

Core official overview
What this condition is
What is heart failure?Heart failure means that your heart can't pump enough oxygen-rich blood to meet your body's needs. Heart failure doesn't mean that your heart has stopped or is about to stop beating. But without enough blood flow, your organs may not work well, which can cause serious problems.Heart failure can affect one or both sides of your heart:With right-sided heart failure, your heart is too weak to pump…

Pacemakers and Implantable Defibrillators
An arrhythmia is any disorder of your heart rate or rhythm. It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. Most arrhythmias result from problems in the electrical system of the heart. If your arrhythmia is serious, you may need a cardiac pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). They are devices that are implanted in your chest or abdomen.A pacemaker helps c…
Sarcoidosis
What is sarcoidosis? Sarcoidosis is a condition in which groups of cells in your immune system form small, red, and swollen (inflamed) lumps. These lumps are called granulomas. They can form in any organ in the body. But they most commonly affect the lungs and lymph nodes in the chest. Over time, sarcoidosis can cause permanent scarring of organs.What causes sarcoidosis?Your immune system creates inflammation to hel…
Heart Surgery
What is heart surgery?Heart surgery can correct certain heart problems when other treatments haven't worked or can't be used.In some cases, heart surgery may be a medical emergency. For example, surgery for a severe heart attack may need to be done right away. In other cases, you can plan heart surgery ahead of time. Some heart surgeries are major operations, such as heart bypass surgery for blocked arteries in the…
