Pacemaker Implantation

Advanced Heart Rhythm Management by Dr. Mamtesh Gupta

A pacemaker is a small, battery-operated medical device implanted in the chest to help regulate abnormal heart rhythms. For individuals experiencing bradycardia (a slow heartbeat), heart block, or other electrical conduction issues within the heart, a pacemaker can significantly improve quality of life and prevent serious complications such as fainting, fatigue, and even cardiac arrest.

Dr. Mamtesh Gupta, DM – Cardiology, is a highly skilled and experienced cardiologist in Meerut, specializing in pacemaker implantation and cardiac rhythm management. With a commitment to precision, safety, and personalized care, Dr. Gupta ensures that every patient receives the most appropriate treatment to restore and maintain a healthy heart rhythm.

What Is a Pacemaker?

A pacemaker monitors the electrical impulses in your heart. When it detects a slow or irregular heartbeat, it sends small electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. This helps the heart pump blood more effectively, ensuring that organs and tissues receive adequate oxygen and nutrients.

There are different types of pacemakers available, including:

• Single-chamber pacemakers – connect to one chamber of the heart

• Dual-chamber pacemakers – connect to both the upper (atria) and lower (ventricles) chambers

• Biventricular pacemakers (CRT) – used in patients with heart failure to improve the heart’s efficiency

Dr. Mamtesh Gupta carefully evaluates each patient’s condition to determine the most suitable type of device.

Who Needs a Pacemaker?

Pacemaker implantation may be recommended for patients with:

• Bradycardia (slow heart rate)

• Heart block (interruption of the electrical signal in the heart)

• Atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response

• Fainting spells caused by rhythm disturbances

• Congenital heart disease or aging-related conduction disorders

Symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath, or unexplained fainting may signal an underlying rhythm issue that a pacemaker can correct.

The Implantation Procedure

The pacemaker implantation is a relatively straightforward and safe procedure performed in a cardiac catheterization lab under local anesthesia and sedation. Dr. Mamtesh Gupta:

• Makes a small incision near the collarbone.

• Guides the pacemaker leads through a vein into the heart.

• Connects the leads to the pacemaker device, which is then placed under the skin.

• Programs the device to suit the patient’s heart condition.

The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours, and most patients are discharged within 24 to 48 hours.

Life After Pacemaker Implantation

After receiving a pacemaker, most patients can return to normal activities within a few days. Dr. Mamtesh Gupta provides thorough post-implantation care, which includes:

• Device programming and regular follow-up appointments

• Monitoring for any complications or device malfunction

• Guidance on safe physical activities and lifestyle adjustments

• Information about living with a pacemaker, including travel tips and electronic device precautions
