Electrocardiostimulation remains the primary treatment for significant bradyarrhythmias while modern devices add resynchronization therapy.
This review provides an overview of the history, types, and clinical applications of modern pacemakers and resynchronization therapy in cardiology.
From the moment the first pacemaker appeared to its improvement and widespread use in modern cardiology, more than 100 years of hard work, scientific experiments and research by a huge number of cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, physiologists and engineers have passed. The article is devoted to electrocardiostimulation, interventional manipulation, which is the most effective and, in most cases, the only method of treating clinically significant bradyarrhythmias. Information is provided on the types of modern pacemakers, their differences and application features in different clinical situations, the technique of resynchronization therapy, as well as the possibilities of pacemakers for the treatment and prevention of tachyarrhythmias.

Kinyasheva et al. (2025) conducted a review in Bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias. Electrocardiostimulation (pacemakers) was evaluated. Electrocardiostimulation remains the most effective and often the only method for treating clinically significant bradyarrhythmias, with modern devices also offering resynchronization therapy.
