Question

If a Pacemaker is not placed in a patient, what does the heart do to compensate for that loss?

Answer 1

hope it helped

Step-by-step explanation:

When something goes wrong with the sinoatrial node, you may develop a consistently slow heartbeat (sinus bradycardia) or the normal pacemaker activity may stop entirely (sinus arrest). If sinus arrest occurs, usually another area of the heart takes over pacemaker activity. This area is called an escape pacemaker.
