Pacemaker Implantation
Pacemaker implantation is recommended for patients with slow or irregular heart rhythms, using a device that monitors the heartbeat and delivers electrical impulses when needed.
Why and when it is recommended
It is recommended for patients with symptomatic slow heart rhythms (bradycardia) or certain conduction disorders that cause fatigue, dizziness, or fainting.
How it differs from medication-based treatment
Unlike medications, which cannot reliably speed up a slow heart rhythm long-term, a pacemaker provides continuous, automatic correction of the heartbeat as needed.
Life after the procedure
Most patients resume normal activities within a few days, with periodic device checks to ensure the pacemaker is functioning correctly.
