Overview
Pacemaker Implantation
Pacemaker implantation is a procedure used to treat irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), particularly bradycardia, where the heart beats too slowly. A pacemaker is a small device placed under the skin near the chest to help control abnormal heart rhythms by sending electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat normally.
At Dr. KM Cherian Institute of Medical Sciences, we offer the best pacemaker implantation in Kerala, ensuring precision, safety, and long-term cardiac care.
When is a Pacemaker Needed?
- Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
- Heart block or irregular electrical signals
- Fainting spells caused by a slow or irregular heartbeat
- Heart rhythm issues following a heart attack or heart surgery
- Congenital heart rhythm disorders
Types of Pacemakers
- Single-chamber Pacemaker: Sends electrical impulses to one chamber of the heart
- Dual-chamber Pacemaker: Coordinates impulses between two heart chambers
- Biventricular Pacemaker (CRT): Used for heart failure patients to improve pumping efficiency
- Leadless Pacemaker: A small, self-contained device implanted directly in the heart without leads. Leadless pacemakers offer several advantages over traditional models. Since they do not require leads or a surgical pocket under the skin, there’s no surgical procedure involved, which significantly enhances patient comfort and reduces the risk of complications associated with leads. However, these devices come with certain limitations. They are generally more costly than traditional pacemakers and are not suitable for all types of bradyarrhythmias, limiting their use to select patient profiles.
