Trusted Pacemaker Solutions
Supporting a steady and healthy heartbeat through advanced pacing technology, expert specialists, and comprehensive cardiac care.
Understanding Pacemaker
A pacemaker is a small medical device implanted under the skin to help regulate abnormal heart rhythms and maintain a normal heartbeat. It sends gentle electrical impulses to the heart when it beats too slowly or irregularly, ensuring consistent blood flow throughout the body.
Pacemakers are commonly recommended for patients with bradycardia, heart block, or other rhythm disorders that cause dizziness, fatigue, or fainting. At St. Thomas Heart Centre, pacemaker implantation is performed by experienced cardiologists using precise techniques and advanced monitoring for patient safety and comfort.
When Pacemaker Implantation Becomes Essential?
- Slow Heart Rate (Bradycardia): Abnormally slow heartbeat leading to fatigue, dizziness, or fainting episodes.
- Heart Block: Electrical signal delay or blockage between the heart chambers affecting rhythm and circulation.
- Recurrent Fainting (Syncope):Unexplained blackouts caused by irregular or slow heart rhythms.
