Pacemaker implantation is a surgical procedure used to treat certain heart conditions, such as arrhythmias, heart block, or bradycardia, where the heart beats too slowly. A pacemaker is a small device that is implanted under the skin of the chest, usually near the collarbone, and connected to one or more leads that are threaded through a vein into the heart.
The pacemaker continuously monitors the heart's electrical activity and sends electrical impulses to the heart to help it beat regularly. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes about an hour to complete. Patients are usually able to leave the hospital within a day or two after the procedure and can resume their normal activities within a few weeks. Pacemaker implantation is generally considered a safe and effective treatment for certain heart conditions, with a low risk of complications such as infection or bleeding.
