Category
Published on
Abstract
This module is an overview of how the heart works and how the technology of cardiac pacemakers has advanced from being an external, motor driven device to being an internal (in vivo) device that goes unnoticed by the user. The why, where, who, and how of pacemakers is discussed. An activity allows for further exploration into one of the microcomponents found in today's pacemakers.
This learning module consist of the following:
- Reading: The Heart and Pacemakers
- Reading: The Microtechnology of Pacemakers
- Activity: Research in The Microtechnology of Pacemakers
There are no Instructor Guides to this learning module. It is a self-paced, self-guided instructional module.
