Abstract
A brief overview of the history and development of circuit designs applied in pacemakers has been presented. The advances in IC designs have resulted in increasingly sophisticated pacing circuitry, providing, for instance, diagnostic analysis, adaptive rate response, and programmability. Also, based on future trends for pacemakers, some features and improvements for modern cardiac sensing systems have been described.
