A small device that he places in his heart to control his heartbeat has become permanent in the body of the Prime Minister of the Israeli occupation state, Benjamin Netanyahu, due to his health problems, which prompted opposition voices in the occupying state to say that this is the reason behind his inability to continue his duties, especially following the strike. Which the occupation was subjected to last October 7, at the hands of the Palestinian factions.

Although Dr. Amit Segev, director of the cardiology unit at the hospital, confirmed that Netanyahu was provided with a heart rate monitor as a purely routine procedure and not due to a deficiency in his health, his health worsened following a short period, and he went to Sheba Hospital and the doctors were forced to implant a pacemaker.

The device may consist of two parts, the first is the pulse generator, and this small metal box consists of a battery and electrical parts, and controls the rate of electrical signals sent to the heart, and the other is the connecting wires, which are flexible and insulated wires, and one to three wires are placed in one or more rooms. The heart. Wires send electrical signals needed to correct irregular heartbeats. Some newer pacemakers do not need lead wires and are called wire-free pacemakers.

Types of pacemakers

A single-chamber pacemaker, which usually sends electrical signals to the lower right chamber of the heart. A dual-chamber pacemaker sends electrical signals to the heart’s right upper chamber and right lower chamber. A biventricular pacemaker is designed specifically for people with heart failure and slow heartbeats. The device stimulates the lower chambers of the heart and helps strengthen the heart muscle.
