Abstract
A cardiac pacing device to be disposed in a heart between an atrium and an atrial appendage protruding from the atrium includes a blocker and a regulator attached to the blocker. The blocker is configured to occlude the atrial appendage. The regulator is configured to contact the heart when the blocker is positioned between the atrium and the atrial appendage to occlude the atrial appendage in order to regulate a cardiac rhythm of the heart accordingly.
