Pacemaker Implantation is a safe and effective procedure used to treat abnormal heart rhythms, particularly slow heartbeats (bradycardia). A pacemaker helps maintain a steady and healthy heart rhythm, preventing dizziness, fainting spells, fatigue, and serious complications.
Under the expert care of Dr. Ajay Kaul, Chairman – Fortis Heart Institute, pacemaker implantation is performed using advanced technology, strict safety standards, and a patient-centered approach.
A pacemaker is a small electronic device implanted under the skin, usually near the collarbone. It sends electrical impulses to the heart to maintain a normal heartbeat when the heart’s natural electrical system fails to function properly.
The device consists of:
Modern pacemakers are compact, durable, and programmable according to individual patient needs.
Dr. Ajay Kaul may recommend a pacemaker for patients experiencing:
Timely implantation prevents complications and significantly improves quality of life.
The type of pacemaker is selected based on the patient’s heart condition and rhythm abnormality.
The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours. Most patients are discharged within 24–48 hours.
Patients can usually return to normal daily activities within a few weeks.
With over 38 years of experience and more than 25,000 successful cardiac procedures, Dr. Ajay Kaul provides comprehensive evaluation and advanced cardiac rhythm management. His approach includes:
If you or your loved one is experiencing symptoms of a slow or irregular heartbeat, early evaluation is essential. Pacemaker implantation can restore rhythm stability and significantly enhance quality of life.
