Pacemaker Implant at MaAx Super Speciality Hospital

What the Treatment Is & Why It’s Done

A pacemaker implant is a medical device placed in the chest to help regulate abnormal heart rhythms. At MaAx Super Speciality Hospital, pacemakers are recommended for patients with arrhythmias such as bradycardia (slow heartbeat), heart block, or irregular rhythms that cause dizziness, fainting, or fatigue.

The device sends electrical impulses to the heart to maintain a steady rhythm, preventing complications like heart failure or sudden cardiac arrest.

How the Treatment Is Performed

A small incision is made near the collarbone.
Leads (thin wires) are guided through veins into the heart chambers.
The pacemaker device is connected to the leads and placed under the skin.
The system is tested to ensure proper functioning.

The procedure takes 1–2 hours under local anesthesia with sedation. Patients usually stay overnight for monitoring.
