      Pacemaker:  it keeps the heart beating at a normal rate and from beating too slow.  You can adjust the pacemaker so that it can be suitable for the top or bottom heart chambers or both.


      Defibrillator:  An implanted defibrillator is a much larger device. it is there to prevent death from cardiac arrest.  The device shocks the heart when it needs to be shocked, because of a life threatening rhythm disturbance from the lower chambers of the heart.
