"A pacemaker is a battery-driven form of life support. It belongs to the patient, not us. In this way, a pacemaker is like mechanical ventilation or renal dialysis. Though inside the body, the pacemaker is extra, unlike say a heart valve that has been endothelialized (grown into the body), and would take extraordinary measures to remove."

"The pacemaker is like the rhythm keeper to the heart as a percussionist keeps the rhythm in a music band. The artificial pacemaker is usually placed in the subcutaneous fat layer (a few inches below the skin in the chest)."
