PacemakerA pacemaker is a small device that helps regulate the heartbeat by sending electrical impulses to the heart. It is typically recommended for individuals with heart rhythm problems, such as bradycardia, which is a condition where the heart beats too slowly. A pacemaker helps to restore a normal heartbeat and improve the flow of blood to the body.
Pacemaker implantation is a minimally invasive procedure that typically takes less than an hour to complete. During the procedure, the pacemaker is inserted under the skin near the collarbone and connected to wires, known as leads, that are placed in the heart. The pacemaker is programmed to deliver electrical impulses to the heart as needed to help regulate the heartbeat. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and the recipient can usually return home the same day.
While pacemaker implantation is a safe and effective treatment for heart rhythm problems, it is not without risk. The body may reject the pacemaker, which can lead to complications, and the recipient may need to have the pacemaker replaced at some point in the future. In addition, the recipient may need to avoid certain activities, such as contact sports, to reduce the risk of injury to the pacemaker. Despite these challenges, a pacemaker can greatly improve the quality of life and prolong the lifespan of individuals with heart rhythm problems. It is important to discuss the benefits, risks, and alternatives of pacemaker implantation with your doctor and to have a comprehensive evaluation before deciding to undergo the procedure.
