Permanent Pacemaker Implantation is a safe and effective procedure used to regulate abnormal heart rhythms, especially in cases where the heart beats too slowly or irregularly. A pacemaker is a small, battery-powered device placed under the skin near the chest that sends electrical signals to maintain a steady heartbeat. Dr. Vaibhav Shukla performs pacemaker implantation with precision, ensuring minimal discomfort and optimal device function for long-term heart health.
Pacemaker implantation is typically recommended for individuals experiencing:
Persistent slow heart rate (bradycardia)
Fatigue, dizziness, or fainting
Palpitations or irregular heart rhythms
Shortness of breath during activity
Heart block or electrical conduction problems detected on ECG
Timely implantation can prevent complications and improve overall quality of life.
During the procedure, a local anesthetic is applied to numb the area near the chest. A small incision is made, and the pacemaker leads are guided into the heart through a vein. The device is then connected to the leads and programmed to maintain a regular heartbeat. The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours and requires a short hospital stay for monitoring. Dr. Vaibhav Shukla ensures careful placement, precise programming, and continuous monitoring throughout the process.
