Restore Your Rhythm

What is referred to as a cardiac pacemaker?

What should you know about it?

A pacemaker is a small device used to treat a slow heart rate. When your heart beats too slow, or unevenly, the pacemaker sends gentle electrical signals to keep it beating at a steady, healthy pace. Some devices (CRT) can also help the heart’s chambers work together better, especially in people with heart failure, so the heart can pump blood more effectively.

What are the different types of pacemakers based on leads?

Depending on the requirement, you might have one of the following types of pacemakers.

Pacemakers are classified based on the number of leads (wires or “leads”) connected to the heart:

Single-lead pacemaker

Has one lead, typically connected to the right ventricle and carries electrical impulses to the right ventricle of your heart.

Dual-lead pacemaker

Has two leads, one in the right atrium and one in the right ventricle. It helps coordinate the timing of both chambers.

Triple-lead (biventricular) pacemaker

Has three leads and is used for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with heart failure.

Leadless pacemakers

Useful in some situations.

FAQs

These are the most commonly asked questions about pacemaker treatment. If you have any other questions, please Get in touch

Pacemaker surgery is usually a minor procedure that takes between one and two hours to complete. There is no need for open-heart surgery because the pacemaker is put beneath the skin of the chest.
It has the potential to be a game-changing treatment for heart conditions like arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats. The placement of a pacemaker in the chest necessitates minimal surgery. Although the surgery is generally safe, there are certain dangers, such as damage near the insertion site and infection.
A cardiac pacemaker, which regulates the heart’s rhythm, can often remove the symptoms of bradycardia and its associated problems. It is common for people to have more energy and suffer less shortness of breath as a result of this practice. A pacemaker, on the other hand, is not a panacea for the condition. It will not slow down or prevent heart disease, and it will not stop heart attacks from occurring.
You’ve been told you have bradycardia. If you take your pulse and notice that your heart rate is slower than 60 beats per minute on occasion, this does not mean you have bradycardia. However, if your doctor has performed testing and determined that you have bradycardia, you may require a pacemaker to keep your heart in a healthy rhythm.
Pacemakers generally have a span of 10-13 years depending on the type of pacemaker, although after these mentioned years you may only need to replace the pulse generator, replacing leads is generally not required. Ensure to talk to your doctor to know when to change the battery and in case you need a replacement of pacemaker.
Yes, MRI-compatible pacemakers are now widely available and offered at every hospital. These pacemakers are specially designed to allow patients to safely undergo MRI scans, which are often necessary for diagnosis of other conditions. The pacemaker will have to be switched on MRI safe mode before scan.
