pacemakers

A pacemaker is a small medical device implanted in the chest to help control abnormal heart rhythms. It uses electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate, ensuring proper blood flow. Pacemakers are often used for patients with bradycardia, where the heart beats too slowly. The device consists of a pulse generator and leads (wires) that are connected to the heart. Pacemakers can improve quality of life and reduce symptoms like fatigue and dizziness, allowing individuals to engage more actively in daily activities. Regular follow-up is essential for monitoring and adjustments.
