Pacemaker Implantation
Pacemaker Implantation is a specialized cardiac procedure used to treat abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) by regulating the heart’s electrical activity. A pacemaker is a small, advanced electronic device that helps the heart maintain a normal, steady heartbeat when it becomes too slow, irregular, or unreliable.
At Medanta Super Speciality Hospital, Noida, Dr. Nishant Tyagi, an experienced interventional cardiologist, offers safe and precise pacemaker implantation using the latest technology and globally accepted cardiac protocols.
What Is a Pacemaker?
A pacemaker is a battery-powered device placed under the skin of the chest that sends electrical impulses to the heart to control abnormal heart rhythms. It continuously monitors the heart rate and delivers impulses whenever it detects a rhythm that is too slow or irregular.
Modern pacemakers are compact, long-lasting, and programmable to suit each patient’s specific cardiac condition.
When Is Pacemaker Implantation Required?
Dr. Nishant Tyagi may recommend pacemaker implantation for patients experiencing:
- Slow heart rate (Bradycardia)
- Heart block (partial or complete)
- Fainting episodes (Syncope) due to rhythm disorders
- Irregular heart rhythms causing dizziness or fatigue
- Age-related degeneration of the heart’s electrical system
Types of Pacemakers Implanted
Depending on the patient’s condition, Dr. Nishant Tyagi performs:
- Single-Chamber Pacemaker
- Single-Chamber Pacemaker
- Rate-Responsive Pacemaker
- Advanced Physiological Pacing Systems
Each device is selected after thorough cardiac evaluation and diagnostic testing.
How the Pacemaker Implantation Procedure Is Performed
Pacemaker implantation is a minimally invasive procedure performed in a specialized cardiac catheterization lab:
- Local anesthesia is administered
- A small incision is made below the collarbone
- Leads (wires) are guided to the heart through a vein
- The pacemaker device is implanted under the skin
- Device function is tested and programmed
The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours, and most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
Benefits of Pacemaker Implantation
- Restores a stable and regular heart rhythm
- Prevents fainting and dizziness
- Prevents fainting and dizziness
- Enhances overall quality of life
- Reduces risk of cardiac complications
