Pacemaker Implantation is a specialized cardiac procedure used to treat abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), especially when the heart beats too slowly or irregularly. A pacemaker is a small, advanced medical device that is placed under the skin of the chest to help regulate the heart’s electrical activity and maintain a normal heartbeat.
The procedure is minimally invasive and typically performed under local anesthesia. A small device is implanted near the chest, and thin wires (leads) are guided to the heart through blood vessels. The pacemaker continuously monitors the heart rhythm and sends electrical signals whenever needed to keep the heartbeat steady and efficient.
Pacemaker implantation significantly improves quality of life by reducing symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, fainting, and shortness of breath.
Early diagnosis can save lives. If you are experiencing symptoms of heart disease or have been advised further cardiac evaluation, consult Dr. Sujeet Narain for expert coronary angiography and comprehensive heart care.
