Pacemaker
A pacemaker is a device that controls the heartbeat of individuals with specific heart conditions. It sends electrical impulses to the heart and helps it beat regularly.
At Aster Hospitals, healthcare providers recommend the pacemaker for individuals with an abnormal heart rhythm, also known as arrhythmia. A pacemaker is a device that is implanted under the skin near the collarbone. It works by sending electrical pulses to control the rhythm of the heart. Pacemakers are lifesavers for arrhythmia patients.
Pacemaker implantation can be scheduled in advance or done as an emergency measure with a temporary pacemaker. Depending on the type of pacemaker, additional procedures may be necessary for its placement.
