For the errant heart, a chip that packs a wallop
Article Abstract:
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators, like the one received by Dick Cheney, contain a processor chip which monitors the body's electrical signals that control the rhythm of heartbeats, and responds to signs of trouble by sending shocks to the one of the heart's lower chambers to reestablish a healthy rhythm. Today's devices are the size of a small pager and can be implanted beneath the skin of the chest, without hospitalization.
