Pacemaker

At Aruna Cardiac Care Hospital, Tirunelveli, we are committed to providing top-tier cardiac care with the latest technology. One of the advanced solutions we offer is pacemaker implantation. A pacemaker is a small device implanted in the chest to help regulate abnormal heart rhythms. This life-saving device ensures your heart maintains a steady and appropriate pace, allowing you to live a healthier, more active life.

A pacemaker is an electronic device that monitors and regulates your heart’s rhythm. It consists of a pulse generator, which houses the battery and the electronic circuitry, and one or more leads (wires) that are placed in the heart. The pacemaker sends electrical impulses to the heart to ensure it beats at the correct rate.

Indications for Pacemaker Use

Pacemakers are used for various heart rhythm disorders, including:

• Bradycardia: A condition where the heart beats too slowly.
• Heart Block: A condition where the electrical signals in the heart are delayed or blocked.
• Atrial Fibrillation: An irregular, often rapid heart rate that can lead to complications.
• Syncope: Recurrent fainting spells due to slow heart rate.

1. Recovery and Monitoring: After the procedure, you will be moved to a recovery area where you will be closely monitored. This typically lasts a few hours to ensure that the pacemaker is functioning correctly and that there are no immediate complications.
2. Post-Procedure Care: Most patients are able to return home the same day or the next. You will receive specific instructions for care, which may include:
3. Wound Care: Keeping the incision site clean and dry.
   Activity Restrictions: Avoiding strenuous activities and heavy lifting for a few weeks to allow proper healing.
   Medication: You may be prescribed medication to manage pain or prevent infection.
4. Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-up visits are crucial to monitor the pacemaker’s performance and adjust settings if needed. Our team will schedule these visits and provide ongoing support to ensure your heart health is well-managed.
   Lifestyle Adjustments: You may need to make some lifestyle adjustments, including:
   Avoiding Certain Activities: Some activities, especially those involving strong magnetic fields, may need to be avoided.
5. Regular Check-Ups: Routine pacemaker checks to monitor its function and battery life.
