A pacemaker is a small medical device that helps regulate abnormal heart rhythms. When the heart beats too slowly, irregularly, or pauses unexpectedly, a pacemaker ensures it maintains a steady and healthy rhythm. At Promed Hospital, we provide expert evaluation and state-of-the-art pacemaker implantation performed by experienced cardiologists and cardiac specialists.
What Is a Pacemaker?
A pacemaker is a compact device placed under the skin, usually near the collarbone. It sends gentle electrical impulses to help the heart beat at a normal rate.
It is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Extremely slow heart rate (Bradycardia)
- Heart block
- Irregular rhythm or pauses
- Fainting spells caused by low heart rate
- Weakness, dizziness, fatigue due to rhythm issues
