A pacemaker can improve your quality of life and possibly prolong it.  \nThe Abbott Medical Aveir™ leadless pacemaker has these advantages over a traditional pacemaker:  \n▪ Leaves no scar on the chest. It is implanted through a small incision at the top of the leg and guided upa vein to the heart. (With a traditional pacemaker, a  \n2 to 3-inch incision is made in the skin of the upper chest below the collarbone.)  \n▪ Requires no leads. It is specially designed so that it is not necessary to feed wires (called leads) through a vein and into the heart. (With a traditional pacemaker, at least one lead connects the device to the heart. )  \n▪ Stays out of sight. It is implanted inside the heart, leaving no trace of it on the outside of the body.  \nThe leadless pacemaker is cylindrical in shape and isabout one-third the size of an AAA battery and onetenth the size of a traditional pacemaker. Despite its small size, the leadless pacemaker can be expected to last 15 years.  \nWhat are pacemakers?  \nA normal, healthy heart automatically regulates its own heart rate.
