    As Far As Im Aware A Defibrilllator Is An Appliance Used Externallly To The Chest To Apply A Shock To The Heart To Kickstart The Heart And Shock It Back Into Activity.
    A Pacemaker Is An Appliance That Is Attached To The Heart To Prompt The Heart To Beat By Releasing A Small Shock , At Heart Beat Intervals
