About Pacemaker Permanent

A permanent pacemaker implantation is a life-saving cardiac procedure performed by a cardiologist to treat chronic, symptomatic bradycardia (abnormally slow heart rate). This minimally invasive surgery involves placing a small, battery-powered device under the skin, typically near the collarbone. Thin, insulated wires (leads) are threaded through a vein into the heart's chambers. The pacemaker continuously monitors the heart's rhythm and delivers precise electrical impulses when it detects a heartbeat that is too slow, too fast, or irregular, thereby restoring a normal, effective rhythm. This procedure significantly improves symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, and fainting, enhances quality of life, and prevents serious complications associated with arrhythmias.

Key Highlights

    Effectively treats chronic slow heart rhythms (bradycardia) and heart block.Minimally invasive procedure with a relatively short recovery time.Significantly improves symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, and fainting (syncope).Enhances physical capacity and overall quality of life.Modern devices are small, reliable, and can be monitored remotely by your doctor.Can be programmed and adjusted non-invasively to meet individual patient needs./ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Sick sinus syndrome (malfunction of the heart's natural pacemaker).
  • Atrioventricular (AV) block (second-degree or third-degree/complete heart block).
  • Chronic, symptomatic bradycardia not caused by a reversible condition.
  • Certain types of heart failure that benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-P).
  • Recurrent fainting spells (syncope) linked to heart rhythm pauses.
  • To prevent dangerous rhythms after certain cardiac procedures or ablations.

How to prepare

  • Complete a thorough cardiac evaluation, including an ECG and possibly an echocardiogram.
  • Discuss all current medications with your cardiologist; you may need to adjust blood thinners.
  • Fast (no food or drink) for 6-12 hours before the procedure as instructed.
  • Inform the medical team of any allergies, especially to iodine, antibiotics, or anesthesia.
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home after your hospital stay.
  • Shower with an antibacterial soap the night before or morning of the procedure.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding, bruising, or infection at the implant site.
  • Pneumothorax (collapsed lung) from needle insertion near the lung.
  • Lead dislodgement, requiring repositioning.
  • Pocket hematoma (collection of blood around the device).
  • Allergic reaction to the device materials or medications.
  • Rarely, damage to blood vessels, heart valves, or heart muscle (perforation).
  • Device malfunction or battery failure over time.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Hospital stay is typically 1-2 days for monitoring and initial device checks.
  • Avoid lifting the arm on the implant side above shoulder level for several weeks.
  • Keep the incision site clean and dry; watch for signs of infection (redness, swelling, fever).
  • Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks as advised.
  • Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for device interrogation and programming.
  • Carry your pacemaker ID card at all times and inform all medical/dental personnel you have a pacemaker.

PATIENT REVIEW

Emily Iyer, a 72-year-old retired school...

Emily Iyer, a 72-year-old retired school librarian, had always been active, tending her garden and volunteering at the local library. Over several months, she began experiencing episodes of profound dizziness and a few frightening moments where she nearly fainted while watering her roses. Her primary care physician noted a very slow heart rate and referred her to a cardiologist. After a Holter monitor confirmed symptomatic bradycardia with heart rates dropping into the low 30s, her cardiologist, Dr. Sharma, gently explained that her heart's natural pacemaker was failing. He recommended a permanent pacemaker to prevent dangerous falls and restore her energy. The procedure itself, done under local anesthesia, was surprisingly straightforward; Emily felt pressure but no pain. In recovery, the constant fatigue and dizziness were gone. She described feeling like a dark cloud had lifted, moving from fear of another sudden 'spell' to profound relief and gratitude. She was back in her garden within a week, her independence securely restored.
