Noel Fraser of Scottsdale, a former pro, lives with a pacemaker implanted March 24 1976 after years of heart trouble. He says the device raises his score but lets him mow the lawn, play golf, and travel with less pain, though he questions doctors about long term care and diet.
The article recounts the first implant of a permanent implantable pacemaker by Dr. William Chardock in April 1960. It notes electricity’s health use by ancient Egyptians and Greeks, and early heart electricity work by 1700s physicians who laid groundwork for modern defibrillation devices used in emergency care.
James Marshall Frost, 72, underwent a pacemaker implant after recurring heart trouble following a move from California. The device regulates his heartbeat, easing symptoms and reducing reliance on medications. Frost says it transformed him, improving activity and outlook despite family heart history and a prior 30 day pneumonia hospitalization.
Pacemakers assist heart rhythm in patients from newborns with congenital defects to senior citizens with aging heart disease. Henry Fonda, Peter Sellers and William C. Douglas are among notable individuals implanted with pacemakers. More than 80,000 Americans annually receive heart rhythm support.
