Apex Medicare led by healthcare organization specialists and
doctors having times of mutual knowledge in the field of healthcare. Most of
the organization associates have had a very ironic and massive experience of
working in best hospitals in India and abroad. With involvement of successfully
stabilizing International Patient Services sections at India's Top hospitals,
our key people ability are well experienced, right from customer service to
clinical care.
A heart, which is healthy, has a pacemaker of its own. It
regulates the pace by its own. However, it is not the case with every heart and
do not beat regularly. For correction of these pace problems, a pacemaker
device is necessary. A pacemaker is a
medical device that helps to the heart to beat regular. If the heart beats are
too slow, or too fast, the adjustments are done in this device. The regulation
of the heart beat is done through electrical impulses as the electrodes contact
the muscles of the heart.
Function of Pacemaker
The primary function of the pacemaker is for controlling the
arrhythmic heart beat. Other functions of the pacemaker are treating faint
spells, congestive heart failure and in some cases for hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy.
Medical Conditions
needed for Pacemaker
Bradycardia
It is a heart condition, where the heart beat is less than
60 beats for a minute, in an adult body in heart pacemaker implantation.
Heart Block
The condition is an indication of the electrical signals
passing in between the lower and upper chambers of the heart, slowed down or
completely or partially blocked.
Atrial Fibrillation
A pacemaker also helps to regulate heart beat, especially
arrhythmias medical procedure treatment.
Heart Disease and
Aging
The ability of the sinus nodes to correct he heart pace is
damaged because of heart diseases and aging will lead to slow down, leading to
long paused heart beats. Such problems can be corrected by the pacemaker.
Advantages of
Implantation of the Pacemaker
- It can easily be implanted even in the outpatients and even can be done, when the patient is awake.
- It is easily done to the patient, just by giving local anesthesia.
- Pacemaker implantation can be a very effective approach the slow heart beat condition called bradycardia.
- The implantation gives better relief from heart beats that are irregular.
- A normal living condition can be achieved with the pacemaker implantation.
- A good and normal quality of life can be enjoyed with the implantation.
Types of Pacemaker
There are different kinds of pacemakers designed to be
implanted for various conditions.
Demand Heart
Pacemaker
In heart pacemaker
implantation Demand Heart Pacemaker has the device inbuilt for sensing the
too slow heart beat and then the signal will be turned on. Once the heart beat
becomes to the normal rhythm, the pacemaker will then be signaled off,
automatically.
Single chamber
Pacemaker
Single chamber pacemaker has a single wire connected to the
chamber of the heart.
Dual-chamber
pacemaker (Biventricular)
The wires of the pacemaker are connected two chambers called
atria, an upper chamber and ventricle, the lower chamber present in the heart.
The functions of these dual chambers are well controlled and coordinated by the
pacemaker to lead to natural pace of the heart beat.
Triple chamber
pacemaker
This pacemaker is implanted for the patients, having weak
heart muscles. One lead of it connected to the right atrium and another for
stimulation of both left and right ventricles.
Temporary or external
Heart Pacemaker
When a cardiac crisis is occurred, the patient is implanted
with this pacemaker for initial stabilization.
