Pacemaker: Over 40 years of lifesaving innovation

At 34 years old in 1973 Ron Brown was diagnosed with an irregular heart rate and was fitted with a pacemaker. More than 40 years later Ron reflects on the pacemakers that have given him a better quality of life for more than half his life.

My grandfather received a pacemaker in the mid-70s, after a heart attack. It was large, the size and shape of a pack of cigarettes. I remember seeing the outline of it under his skin. His final pacemaker was barely noticeable.
