Implantable Cardiac Devices

Implantable cardiac devices, such as pacemakers and defibrillators, are small electronic devices placed under the skin to help manage irregular heart rhythms. Pacemakers monitor your heartbeat and send electrical signals to prompt the heart to beat normally if it’s too slow. Implantable defibrillators can detect dangerous fast heart rhythms and deliver shocks to restore normal rhythm, potentially saving your life. These devices work quietly and continuously to ensure the heart beats properly, improving quality of life and reducing the risk of serious complications from abnormal heart rhythms.
