How Permanent Pacemaker Implantation is performed
Pacemaker types include single/dual-chamber, MRI-conditional, and rate-responsive, as determined by specialist evaluation. Typically, under local anesthesia, electrodes are inserted into the heart chamber via veins, positioned under fluoroscopy, and the threshold is tested. Then, a pulse generator is connected and placed in a subcutaneous pocket, followed by hemostasis and suturing. Postoperative monitoring of heart rhythm and incision, with gradual optimization of programming and medication, aims to maintain a stable heart rate and alleviate symptoms. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
