Abstract:
Described here is the progress of the electrical treatment for arrhythmia during the past half a century. The mechanism, their expression and the principles of electrical treatment for bradycardia, tachycardia and fatal arrhythmia--ventricular fibrillation (VF) are introduced respectively. The current situation and future development of the pacemaker, RF ablation and implantable cardioversion defibrillator are also discussed in the paper.
