520 8  Annotation Today hundreds of thousands of Americans carry 
       pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators 
       (ICDs) within their bodies. These battery-powered machines
       & mdash;small computers, in fact & mdash;deliver 
       electricity to the heart to correct dangerous disorders of
       the heartbeat. But few doctors, patients, or scholars know
       the history of these devices or how "heart-rhythm 
       management" evolved into a multi-billion-dollar 
       manufacturing and service industry. Machines in Our Hearts
       tells the story of these two implantable medical devices. 
       Kirk Jeffrey, a historian of science and technology, 
       traces the development of knowledge about the human 
       heartbeat and follows surgeons, cardiologists, and 
       engineers as they invent and test a variety of electronic 
       devices. Numerous small manufacturing firms jumped into 
       pacemaker production but eventually fell by the wayside, 
       leaving only three American companies in the business 
       today. Jeffrey profiles pioneering heart surgeons, 
       inventors from the realms of engineering and medical 
       research, and business leaders who built heart-rhythm 
       management into an industry with thousands of employees 
       and annual revenues in the hundreds of millions. As 
       Jeffrey shows, the pacemaker (first implanted in 1958) and
       the ICD (1980) embody a paradox of high-tech health care: 
       these technologies are effective and reliable but add 
       billions to the nation's medical bill because of the huge 
       growth in the number of patients who depend on implanted 
       devices to manage their heartbeats.
