Pacemaker Implantation in Mumbai
Expert Cardiac Care by Dr. Gulshan Rohra
A pacemaker is a small electronic device that helps regulate the heart’s rhythm when the heart beats too slowly or irregularly. It sends carefully timed electrical impulses to help maintain an appropriate heart rate.
For patients with certain types of bradycardia, heart block, or conduction disorders, pacemaker implantation may help improve symptoms and support normal heart function.
Dr. Gulshan Rohra, a Cardiothoracic Surgeon in Mumbai and experienced Heart Surgeon in Mumbai, provides comprehensive evaluation and cardiac surgical care for patients with various heart conditions.
When Is a Pacemaker Needed?
A pacemaker may be recommended for selected patients with:
- Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
- Heart block
- Certain conduction abnormalities
- Recurrent fainting associated with rhythm problems
- Some rhythm disorders causing inadequate heart rate
The need for a pacemaker depends on the underlying rhythm problem, symptoms, ECG findings and overall cardiac health.
How Does a Pacemaker Work?
A pacemaker consists of a pulse generator and one or more leads that help deliver electrical impulses to the heart.
When the heart’s natural electrical system does not maintain an adequate rhythm, the pacemaker can provide electrical stimulation to help the heart maintain an appropriate rate.
Benefits of a Pacemaker
For appropriately selected patients, pacemaker therapy may help:
- Maintain an adequate heart rate
- Reduce symptoms caused by slow heart rhythms
- Improve exercise tolerance in some patients
- Reduce episodes of dizziness or fainting related to bradycardia
- Support appropriate heart rhythm
