Pacemaker Implantation

A pacemaker is a small medical device that helps regulate the heartbeat. It is implanted under the skin of the chest and connected to the heart with thin wires called leads.

Why is a Pacemaker Needed?

Pacemakers treat slow or irregular heart rhythms such as bradycardia or heart block. By maintaining a healthy heart rate, they reduce symptoms and improve overall quality of life.

How is a Pacemaker Implanted?

The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia with mild sedation. Leads are placed through a vein into the heart and connected to the pacemaker device.

Living with a Pacemaker

Most patients return to normal activities quickly. With routine follow-ups, pacemakers provide long-term reliability and peace of mind.
