By VICKI BRANDENBURGER A smaU mercury battery about the size of a nickel candy bar controls the destiny of 72 year old Mariano Rocha. Rocha's damaged heart beats, In fact, only in answer to faint electrical impulses sent to it by the battery Implanted in his stomach.

More often called tn internal pacemaker, the battery was the first of Its kind to be surgically "lnstaDed" for a patient at the Green Hoepital. Rocha, a clinic patient there since 1355, underwent the hour and 20 minute operation late in the summer. Rocha, now at home and living a near normal life, had suffered a heart attack coronary occlusion which damaged the nerve system of his heart. Without proper nerve impulses, the muscular chambers of his heart contracted irregularly, causing it to beat as slowly as 20 times per minute. Rn thA was ordered and Green Hospital heart The battery, encased in a plastic epoxy resin which pre vents the body from reacting to the foreign object, is timed to send exactly 64 Infinitesimal Impulses per minute to the beat ing chambers.

Rocha checks his own pulse as often as five times each day to make certain the battery is staying on its pre arranged schedule. Should the pulse vary from 64 throbs a minute, he would check with his doctors immediately. The battery has a life expectancy of two to five years. As it becomes weak it increases the number of impulses it sends the heartsometimes as high as 90 per minute. The patient detects Uie increase in his pulse, and the battery is replaced in a comparatively simple surgical maneuver.

Pacemakers, which came into use about five years ago, were originally much larger than the instrument Rocha carries in his stomach. And they were worn on the outside of a patient's body with wires leading into the chest and the heart. Even the smallest openings in the chest were easy marks for frequent infection. I PACEMAKER IN PLACE This positive print of a recent of Mariano Rocha's boaV shows the pacemaker battery in place in his upper abefomen. Wires visible here run just under the skin from surgeons implanted it in a pocket in his abdomen.
