What is a Pacemaker?

A pacemaker is a battery-operated device placed under the skin, usually near the collarbone. It sends electrical impulses to the heart muscles to maintain a normal heart rate. The device consists of:

• A pulse generator (battery and electrical circuits) that controls heartbeat regulation.
• One or more leads (wires) that transmit electrical signals to the heart.

Who Needs a Pacemaker?

Dr. Gyanti RB Singh may recommend a pacemaker if you have:

• Bradycardia (slow heartbeat) causing dizziness, fatigue, or fainting
• Heart block, where the heart's electrical signals are delayed or blocked
• Atrial fibrillation leading to an irregular heart rhythm
• Cardiac arrest history or a high risk of sudden heart failure
• Heart conditions due to aging, medications, or other health issues

Benefits of a Pacemaker

• Restores Normal Heart Rhythm: Prevents slow or irregular heartbeats.
• Improves Blood Circulation: Enhances oxygen supply to vital organs.
• Reduces Symptoms: Relieves dizziness, fainting, and fatigue.
• Prevents Cardiac Arrest: Lowers the risk of life-threatening arrhythmias.
• Enhances Quality of Life: Allows patients to lead an active and normal lifestyle.

Pacemaker Implantation: What to Expect?

The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia. A small incision is made to place the pacemaker under the skin, and the leads are positioned in the heart. The device is then programmed to regulate the heartbeat. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
