Solution:

The artificial pacemaker is a small battery operated electrical stimulator planted beneath the skin under right clavicle while the string/cable is passed via superior vena cava, right atrium and allowed to rest against the tip of the right ventricle. It is an electrical device used for covering up any deficiency of myogenic functioning so as to make heart beat normally.
