Are pacemakers effective in saving lives?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Most of the requirements to place a pacemaker are related to dangerous, potentially life threatening, conditions. Overall pacemakers are very reliable devices.

Pacemaker: Pacemakers are well established as reliable and effective. They can be life saving when the heart would not otherwise contract as often as it needs.
