Abstract :
The function of the heart electrostimulator is explained in this paper through the hardware realization of electrical circuit proposed by company "Medtronic”, Detail explanation of main components of the realized pacemaker has been given and signals generated by the pacemaker were recorded with oscilloscope. The nead for use of electrostimulators is explained through the transmition of electric potential through the cardiac muscle and disorders that occur during this transmition.
