Circulation, 1973 The development of artificial pacemakers for the electrical control of the cardiac rhythm has greatly enhanced the physician's ability to treat cardiac dysrhythmias. Pacemakers have been useful in treating Stokes-Adams syndrome and symptomatic bradyeardias; they have helped control the occurrence of tachyarrhythmias and have played an important role in
