About the Pacemaker Implantation
A pacemaker is a small, battery-powered device implanted under the skin of your chest to help control your heartbeat. It is used to treat arrhythmias—heartbeats that are too slow, too fast, or irregular. By sending electrical pulses to the heart, the pacemaker ensures it beats at a normal rate and rhythm, significantly improving quality of life and preventing complications like fainting or heart failure.
"Modern pacemakers are 'rate-responsive,' meaning they automatically adjust your heart rate based on your level of physical activity, just like a natural heart would."
Bradycardia
Corrects abnormally slow heart rates that cause dizziness and fatigue.
Heart Block
Ensures electrical signals travel correctly from the top to bottom chambers.
Rhythm Stability
Prevents sudden pauses in heart activity that can lead to fainting (syncope).
Pump Support
Helps the heart pump more efficiently in certain types of heart failure (CRT).

Common Concerns
Providing clarity and confidence for your procedure.
Can I use a mobile phone with a pacemaker?
Yes, you can use a mobile phone. However, it is recommended to keep it at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from your pacemaker. Use the ear opposite to the side where the pacemaker is implanted.
How long does the battery last?
Modern pacemaker batteries typically last between 8 to 12 years, depending on how much the device is used. When the battery runs low, the generator is replaced in a simple minor procedure.
Will I feel the pacemaker inside me?
Initially, you may be aware of the small device under your skin, but most patients get used to it quickly and don't feel it at all after a few weeks.
