Are you saying that the pacemaker was invented by this guy?

You tell me, although I am wary leaving this task up to your poor level of reading comprehension

quote:

In 1959 he took a position with Cordis Corporation, where his career took a decidedly different turn. There, as Staff Physicist, he became the originator and systems/electronic designer of a pacemaking program that would eventually yield the world’s first implantable, remotely programmable digital pacemaker. While the concept for such technology was widely known and discussed, it was Walter’s work on Corids’ “Atricor” device that enabled the first prosthetic device to automatically control a physiologic parameter. This innovation dramatically altered life for the hundreds of thousands of patients who would ultimately benefit from Walter’s implantable device and its technological descendants.
