Q. What is a Pacemaker?
A: A Pacemaker is a small device implanted in the chest or abdomen to help regulate abnormal heart rhythms. It consists of a pulse generator and leads that connect the generator to the heart.
Q. Who needs a Pacemaker?
A: Pacemakers are prescribed to individuals with bradycardia (a slow heartbeat), heart block or irregular heart rhythms. One of the major symptoms is transient fainting (syncope).
Q. How does a Pacemaker work?
A: The pacemaker monitors the heart’s electrical activity and delivers electrical impulses to regulate the heartbeat when it becomes too slow or irregular. These impulses simulate the heart muscle to contract, maintaining a normal rhythm.
Q. What if the heart rate becomes too high (Tachycardia)?
A: In some conditions when the heart rate becomes abnormally high, implantable defibrillators are implanted to maintain the normal rhythm.
