What is a Pacemaker?

A pacemaker is a small device implanted in the chest to help regulate abnormal heart rhythms. It uses electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate, ensuring proper blood flow and heart function.

Pacemakers are typically used to treat bradycardia (abnormally slow heart rate), arrhythmias, or other heart conditions where the heart's electrical system is not functioning properly.

Why is it Important?

A pacemaker plays a critical role in maintaining the heart’s rhythm, preventing symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, and fatigue. It improves the quality of life for those with heart rhythm disorders, reducing the risk of complications associated with irregular heartbeats.

Who Should Consider It?

Pacemakers are often recommended for individuals with heart arrhythmias, particularly those experiencing symptoms like fainting, dizziness, or shortness of breath due to a slow or irregular heart rate. It is also considered for patients who are at risk of sudden cardiac arrest.

Safe, Reliable, and Lifesaving

With advances in technology, pacemakers are safe, reliable, and can last for many years. They allow individuals with heart rhythm disorders to live active, healthy lives while maintaining normal heart function.
