What is a Permanent Pacemaker?

A Permanent Pacemaker is a small medical device implanted under the skin to regulate slow or irregular heartbeats. It sends electrical signals to the heart to maintain a normal rhythm and prevent symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, or fainting.

What is an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)?

An ICD is a life-saving device used in patients at high risk of sudden cardiac arrest. It constantly monitors your heart rhythm and delivers a shock if a dangerous arrhythmia (like ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation) is detected.

When is a Pacemaker or ICD Needed?

You may need one of these devices if you have:

• Bradycardia (slow heart rate)

• Heart block or irregular heartbeat

• Fainting spells due to heart rhythm issues

• Previous cardiac arrest or severe ventricular arrhythmias

• Cardiomyopathy or heart failure

How is the Device Implanted?

• The procedure is done under local anesthesia in a cardiac cath lab.

• A small incision is made near the collarbone to place the device.

• Leads (wires) are guided into the heart through a vein and connected to the device.

• The device is programmed to monitor and correct your heart rhythm automatically.
