Can pacemaker kill people

While pacemakers are generally safe and designed to regulate heart rhythms, there are rare instances where complications can occur. Issues such as infection, device malfunction, or improper placement may lead to serious health risks. Additionally, if a person with a pacemaker experiences a significant medical emergency unrelated to the device, it could contribute to a fatal outcome. However, when used correctly, pacemakers significantly improve the quality of life and reduce the risk of heart-related deaths.
