1. Can the right music lower your blood pressure, modify the immune system, lower body temperature and slow heartbeat? 2. Eventually, the heartbeat and breathing may stop, but even a very slow heartbeat and rate of respiration may maintain vital body functions. 3. Pacemakers, surgically implanted in the heart, use electricity to correct a slow heartbeat and keep the heart beating at a steady rate. 4. The doctors have programmed the pacemaker component to speed up an abnormally slow heartbeat if Cheney develops one. 5. The pacemaker can speed up a slow heartbeat and can deliver an electrical shock to interrupt two kinds of dangerously fast heart rhythm, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. 6. Pacemakers help patients with slow heartbeats -- a condition known as bradycardia. 7. A few had an unusually slow heartbeat. |
