We in CerebrumCor Clinic provide expert care for complex cardiology with focus on life-enhancing technology like pacemaker implantation. Our expert services are available for single and double chamber pacemaker procedures, giving patients reliable avenues for the treatment of irregular heart rhythm.
Pacemakers are small implanted medical devices that help regulate the heartbeat. Regardless of whether caused by bradycardia (abnormally slow heart rate), heart block, or other arrhythmias, a pacemaker will restore a normal heart rhythm and improve your quality of life. Between single and dual chamber device, the choice is based on your specific condition, and our experienced cardiologists will offer the best choice for your heart health.
What Is a Pacemaker?
A pacemaker is a small electronic gadget inserted in the chest or abdomen to help control abnormal heart rhythms, also known as arrhythmias. The pacemaker generates electrical impulses that stimulate the heartbeat to be normal in rate and rhythm. Pacemakers are most often needed when the heart’s built-in electrical system is not functioning correctly.
There are many types of pacemakers, with single and dual chamber pacemakers being the most commonly used. Depending on the location of the heart that needs the support, you will need to have a type of pacemaker.
Single Chamber Pacemaker Implantation
Single chamber pacemaker uses one lead (electrode) that is secured to the right atrium or the right ventricle of the heart. It is more commonly secured at the right ventricle. The device is typically used for patients with persistent atrial fibrillation or particular types of bradycardia where singe chamber pacing is sufficient.
Benefits of Single Chamber Pacemakers:
Simpler implantation process
Less incidence of complications
Suitable in some arrhythmia conditions
Reliable for small pacing support for patients
We at CerebrumCor Clinic do single chamber pacemaker implantation using minimal invasive methods to keep recovery time to the bare minimum and provide increased patient comfort.
Dual Chamber Pacemaker Implantation
A dual chamber pacemaker contains two leads: one is placed inside the right atrium and the other is placed inside the right ventricle. This allows the device to coordinate the timing of the two chambers very closely similar to natural heart rhythm. Dual chamber pacemakers are especially ideal for patients with atrioventricular (AV) block or sick sinus syndrome.
Benefits of Dual Chamber Pacemakers:
More natural heart rhythm regulation
Better cardiac output
Increased signs in AV block or sinus node disorder patients
Reduced risk of worsening of atrial fibrillation
Our specialists at CerebrumCor Clinic carefully examine each patient’s condition of the heart to determine if a dual chamber pacemaker is the optimal remedy.
The Pacemaker Implantation Procedure
Whether a single or dual chamber pacemaker, the operation is usually a routine, safe one. It is most commonly performed under local anesthetic with sedation and takes about 1 to 2 hours.
Step-by-Step Process:
Pre-Procedure Evaluation – Comprises ECG, echocardiogram, and blood work.
Implantation – A tiny incision is made below the collarbone. Leads are passed through a vein into the heart and attached to the pacemaker generator.
Device Testing – Once the leads are in place, the pacemaker is tested to ensure it is functioning properly.
Closure and Recovery – The skin incision is closed, and patients are usually able to go home the next day.
At CerebrumCor Clinic, we offer a safe and comfortable experience, with state-of-the-art technology and stringent safety protocols for all pacemaker implant procedures.
Aftercare and Follow-Up
Following implantation, our recovery team provides extensive guidance on recovery, wound care, and limitations on activity. We also schedule regular follow-ups to keep track of the device’s performance and make adjustments accordingly.
Most patients experience significant relief from symptoms like dizziness, tiredness, and breathlessness within a short period after the procedure. Under proper monitoring, a pacemaker can last 8 to 15 years or even longer.
