10 percent of people over the age of 70 may need a pacemaker implanted in their chest to improve their heart function and living condition

Dubai, United Arab Emirates-Wednesday 15 August 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]

If you meet 70-year-old Maria, a Nigerian national, you’d never know she has a dual chamber pacemaker to keep her heart beating well.
