Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pacemakers are used to treat heart rhythm disorders and related conditions such as: Slow heart rhythm (bradycardia) Fainting spells (syncope) Heart failure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your doctor may recommend a temporary pacemaker when you have a slow heartbeat (bradycardia) after a heart attack, surgery or medication overdose but your heartbeat is otherwise expected to recover. A pacemaker may be implanted permanently to correct a chronic slow or irregular heartbeat or to help treat heart failure.

Detailed explanation-3: -This device is attached to an inner wall of your heart, which means it doesn’t need to use any wires. Single-chamber pacemaker: Uses a single wire attached to one chamber of your heart. Dual-chamber pacemaker: Uses two wires attached to two chambers of your heart.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pacemakers send electrical pulses to help your heart beat at a normal rate and rhythm. Pacemakers can also be used to help your heart chambers beat in sync so your heart can pump blood more efficiently to your body. This may be needed if you have heart failure.
