    Morgagni-Adams-Stokes syndrome treatment advanced significantly with cardiac pacemakers, first successfully used in humans in 1952 and transistorized versions implanted by 1958. This review details pacemaker development and implantation trends.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Devices
    • Electrophysiology

    Context:

    • Morgagni-Adams-Stokes syndrome (MAS) and cardiac excitability have long been recognized.
    • Early attempts at electrical stimulation of the heart were limited.
    • Significant advancements in cardiac pacing emerged in the mid-20th century.

    Purpose:

    • To review the historical development of cardiac pacemakers.
    • To detail advancements in pacemaker technology, including impulse generation, power sources, and implantation techniques.
    • To compare pacemaker implantation data from the GDR and St. George Hospital, Leipzig.

    Summary:

    • The first successful human treatment for MAS using electrical stimulation occurred in 1952.
    • The first battery-powered, transistorized cardiac pacemakers were implanted in 1958.
