Pacemaker Implantation: Restoring Heart Rhythm

What Is a Pacemaker?

A pacemaker is an implantable medical device used to control and regulate the heart's rhythm. Its main function is to ensure that the heart beats at a steady and healthy rate. When a cardiac arrhythmia or blockage occurs, the pacemaker intervenes to ensure that the heart continues to function smoothly.

Why Is a Pacemaker Needed?

Cardiac blockage and arrhythmias are heart problems that can seriously affect a person's health. In the case of a cardiac blockage, the electrical signal that regulates the heart's beats is delayed or completely stopped. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and fainting. In arrhythmia situations, the heart can beat too fast or too slow, which can also cause uncomfortable or dangerous symptoms.

Symptoms and Risks

• Symptoms of Heart Rhythm Problems:
  • Extreme fatigue
  • Dizziness or fainting
  • Shortness of breath
  • Irregular heart palpitations
  • Chest pain

• Risks of Not Treating a Heart Rhythm Problem:
  • Not treating a heart rhythm problem, such as a cardiac blockage or arrhythmia, can have serious health consequences. In addition to the uncomfortable symptoms mentioned above, there is a real risk that a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia can lead to cardiac arrest.

Types of Pacemakers

There are several types of pacemakers, including single and dual-chamber pacemakers, as well as the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). The ICD is used to restore normal electrical activity in the heart in the case of a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia.

Pacemaker Implant and Replacement

At The Clinics of the Heart, we have the expertise and resources to implant and replace all types of cardiac electronic devices. We also offer pacemaker upgrade and replacement services to ensure that our patients always have access to the most advanced technology and the highest quality care.

Triple-Chamber Pacemaker (Resynchronizer) Implant, Upgrade, and Replacement

Resynchronization therapy uses an implantable triple-chamber pacemaker to achieve optimal synchronization of cardiac contractility in patients with advanced heart failure. This significantly improves patients' quality of life by helping the heart pump blood more efficiently.

At The Clinics of the Heart, we are committed to your heart health. If you experience symptoms of heart rhythm problems or need a pacemaker implant, replacement, or upgrade, do not hesitate to contact us.
