A pacemaker is a small device implanted in the chest to regulate heart rhythm by emitting electrical pulses, ensuring a steady heartbeat. It monitors heart rate and delivers impulses when needed.
Individuals with abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) such as bradycardia, tachycardia, or heart block may need pacemaker implantation to regulate their heartbeat and improve cardiac function.
During a pacemaker implantation, a small incision is made near the collarbone, through which leads are threaded into the heart. The pacemaker device is then placed under the skin.
Pacemaker implantation is typically performed under local anaesthesia, so discomfort during the procedure is minimal. Afterwards, some soreness at the implantation site may occur, but it's generally manageable.
