For this project I assigned myself the pacemaker failure page. After reviewing the content that is already there, 2/3 of the cited sources are from websites. My plans over the next couple of weeks are to try to find information that is not from websites, and instead from peer reviewed journals. I want to add to the causes of pacemaker failure, the effects of what occurs, and maybe how it can be avoided.

Some potential sources I may use for this project:
