Permanent Pacemaker Implantation

Permanent Pacemaker Implantation

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.

Symptoms That May Require a Pacemaker

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.

Treatment and Process

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.
