If you have a heart rate that is fast or slow, or your heart rhythm is not regular, you might be a potential candidate for pacemaker implantation or defibrillator. A pacemaker is a small metal device that fits in the palm of your hand. We offer our patients implantable pacemakers or defibrillators to treat irregular rhythms or heart rate problems, after a thorough medical history, examination, and relevant investigations to provide you with the best possible management plan. Based on your ECG findings, our cardiologists might also suggest defibrillator implantation to help deal with fast heart rate and irregular rhythms.
Pacemakers
Slowed heart rate along with symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and sudden loss of consciousness are signs that there is an ongoing heart condition that needs to be treated. Implantable pacemakers help us generate electrical impulses that speed up our heart’s rate, allowing normal blood flow. These small devices are placed by our trained professionals after carefully evaluating your heart condition and ECG results.
Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators
These devices serve a pivotal life-saving therapeutic function. They restore normal rhythm as well as provide electrical shock when needed to prevent death from cardiac arrest. We offer our patients this life saving device when the electrical activity of your heart is abnormal.
