After a detailed cardiac evaluation, our specialists determine whether a pacemaker is the best treatment option.
Types of Pacemakers
Depending on your heart condition, different pacemakers may be used.
Single Chamber Pacemaker
Stimulates one chamber of the heart and is suitable for certain rhythm disorders.
Dual Chamber Pacemaker
Coordinates the upper and lower heart chambers for improved heart function.
Biventricular Pacemaker (CRT)
Recommended for selected heart failure patients to improve pumping efficiency.
Leadless Pacemaker
A newer, minimally invasive device implanted directly inside the heart without traditional leads.
Pacemaker Implant Procedure
The Pacemaker Procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation.
Step 1: Preparation
Step 2: Pacemaker Implantation
A small incision is made below the collarbone. The pacemaker leads are inserted through a vein into the heart using imaging guidance. The pacemaker device is then placed beneath the skin and connected to the leads.
Step 3: Device Testing
The cardiologist checks the pacemaker settings to ensure proper heart rhythm control.
Step 4: Recovery
Most patients can return home within 24–48 hours, depending on their condition.
