The device, a battery powered transistor unit with two platinum wires, can be attached to the chest or carried in a pocket and adjusted from 60 to 180 pulses per minute. It marks a shift from painful external shocks to a low voltage, controlled rhythm restoration for heart block often arising after heart surgery.
