Sixty-five years ago, the first pacemakers were implanted. Swedish developments paved the way for implantation of the first epicardial pacemaker with a rechargeable battery unit; however, there was a battery defect within 3 h. Further developments in the USA allowed for the first transvenous, endocardial lead to be implanted with an external pacemaker battery. Following these pioneering implantations, further improvements of the battery and electrical elements and also of lead technology (flexibility and fixation mechanism) allowed the implantation of pacemaker systems similar to those we still implant today.
65年前，第一批心脏起搏器被植入人体。瑞典的研发成果为植入首个带有可充电电池单元的心外膜起搏器铺平了道路；然而，该电池在3小时内就出现了故障。美国的进一步发展使得首个经静脉心内膜导线与外部起搏器电池一同得以植入。在这些开创性的植入手术后，电池、电气元件以及导线技术（柔韧性和固定机制）的进一步改进，使得如今仍在使用的类似起搏器系统得以植入。
