Cardiac Pacemaker

People with a slow heart rate (bradycardia) that causes symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, or fainting may benefit from a pacemaker. It helps regulate your heart rhythm by sending electrical signals to stimulate contractions.

Pacemaker implantation is usually a minimally invasive procedure. You’ll likely be under local anesthesia while a small device is placed under your skin near your collarbone. Thin wires are then placed in your heart to deliver electrical pulses.

Modern pacemakers typically last 7-10 years before needing replacement due to battery depletion. Your doctor will monitor your pacemaker regularly to ensure proper function.

Yes, there may be ongoing clinical trials testing new pacemaker features, functionalities, or battery life. These studies help researchers evaluate the safety and effectiveness of these advancements.

You have the right to withdraw from a clinical trial at any time and for any reason, without penalty. Simply inform the research team of your decision
