About this Procedure
Pacemaker implantation is a procedure to fit a small battery-powered device under the skin of the chest. The pacemaker sends electrical signals that help the heart beat at a steady rate. Most pacemakers have one or more thin wires (leads) that run through a vein to the heart; some newer leadless pacemakers are placed directly inside the heart.
A pacemaker may be recommended for heart block, heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias) such as a heartbeat that is too slow, and some types of heart failure. Before the procedure you may have blood tests, a chest X-ray or an echocardiogram.
A standard pacemaker is fitted by a cardiologist under local anaesthetic, sometimes with sedation. A small cut is made on the left side of the chest, the leads are guided through a vein to the heart, and the device is placed under the skin near the collarbone. According to the NHS, it usually takes about an hour, and you usually stay in hospital overnight. The pacemaker is checked before you go home, and you avoid heavy lifting and raising the elbow above shoulder height for 4 to 6 weeks.
Pacemaker implantation is offered at Medwell's partner hospitals in Delhi NCR, including BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, Fortis Memorial Research Institute and Artemis Hospital in Gurugram, and Fortis Flt. Lt. Rajan Dhall Hospital, Vasant Kunj. Medwell helps you plan the procedure and share device details with your cardiologist at home for ongoing checks.
