#Didyouknow 60 years ago, the first pacemaker was successfully implanted into a human patient, a 77-year-old man. Invented by Wilson Greatbatch on error, when working on a heart-rhythm recorder, he mistakenly added an incorrect electronic component, so that the device produced electrical pulses instead of simply recording them, and realized, he had found a way to electrically stimulate a heartbeat. #FIMEShow #FIME2020 #didyouknowWednesday #FIMEDidYouKnowWednesday #cardiac #pacemaker #medicaldevice #ushealth
