Coloured chest X-ray showing heart pacemaker

Heart pacemaker. Coloured chest X-ray showing a surgically-implanted heart pacemaker (yellow oval, upper left). The two lungs (large black areas) and the heart (red, centre) are also seen. The pacemaker supplies electrical impulses along a lead (white) to the heart to keep it beating regularly. Pacemakers are fitted in patients with a malfunctioning sinoatrial node, the part of the heart which initiates each heartbeat, or a heart block impairing the nerve impulses generated by the node. Heart pacemakers may provide a regular impulse (fixed rate pacemaker) or discharge only when a heartbeat is missed (demand pacemaker)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured chest X-ray revealing the presence of a heart pacemaker. The surgically-implanted pacemaker, depicted as a yellow oval in the upper left corner, plays a crucial role in maintaining regular heartbeats. The image also highlights the two lungs, represented by large black areas, and the vibrant red silhouette of the heart at its center. A white lead can be observed extending from the pacemaker to the heart, symbolizing how electrical impulses are transmitted to ensure proper cardiac function. This life-saving device is typically implanted in patients with either a malfunctioning sinoatrial node or a heart block that impairs nerve impulses generated by this vital part of the heart. Heart pacemakers come in different types: some provide a consistent impulse at fixed rates while others only discharge when there is an irregular heartbeat. These devices serve as essential tools within medical care for individuals requiring assistance in maintaining healthy cardiac rhythms. This remarkable photograph not only captures intricate details of human anatomy but also represents significant advancements in medical technology and healthcare systems. It serves as a reminder of how science continues to improve our understanding and treatment options for various cardiovascular conditions.
