Concept Unique Identifier (CUI): C0030163

NCI Thesaurus Code: C94198  (see NCI Thesaurus info)

Semantic Type: Medical Device

NCIt Definition: A battery-operated device that delivers electrical impulses to the heart to assist it to beat effectively.

RADLEX Definition: A device designed to stimulate, by electric impulses, contraction of the heart muscles. It may be temporary (external) or permanent (internal or internal-external). [MeSH]

NCI-GLOSS Definition: An electronic device that is implanted in the body to monitor heart rate and rhythm. It gives the heart electrical stimulation when it does not beat normally. It runs on batteries and has long, thin wires that connect it to the heart.

UMD Definition: Pacemakers designed to apply a repetitive electrical stimulus to regulate the rhythm of the heart. These stimulators include electronic circuitry that produces electrical pulses and senses the cardiac activity; they may be line powered, or battery powered either using internal batteries or through attached modular batteries. Pacemakers can deliver the electrical stimulus either in fixed-rate mode (asynchronous), demand mode (synchronous), or both. They may apply their stimulus to only one of the heart chambers (most frequently to the ventricle), but some pacemakers pace both the ventricle and the atrium (dual chamber or universal pacing). These stimulators are used to restore normal heart rate, inducing depolarization and stimulating myocardial contraction when the hearts own pacing or conduction systems have been impaired.

MSH Definition: A device designed to stimulate, by electric impulses, contraction of the heart muscles. It may be temporary (external) or permanent (internal or internal-external).
