Pacemaker Implantation in Kolkata

What is Pacemaker?

A pacemaker is a small medical device implanted under the skin, usually near the chest, to help regulate abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).

Purpose

  • Corrects Slow Heart Rate (Bradycardia)
  • Coordinates Heart Chambers
  • Supports Heart After Surgery or Heart Block
  • Improves Quality of Life
  • If you are looking for a heart pacemaker in Kolkata, consult experienced cardiologists at a trusted heart hospital for safe and effective treatment.

    How it helps regulate heartbeat

    A pacemaker helps regulate heartbeat by sending tiny electrical impulses to the heart muscle when it detects that the heart is beating too slowly or irregularly.

Risks and Complications of Pacemaker Surgery

While pacemaker implantation is generally safe, like any medical procedure, it carries some risks.

    Common Pacemaker Surgery Risks

  • Infection Risk: Infection may occur at the incision site or around the pacemaker, though this is rare with proper care.
  • Lead Dislodgement: Leads (wires) can shift from their position in the heart, requiring adjustment.
  • Device Malfunction (Rare): Pacemakers are highly reliable, but device failure can occur in rare cases and is corrected with medical intervention.
