Pacemaker Implantation in India
Helping Your Heart Beat the Right Way
When your heart doesn’t beat properly, it can make you feel weak, tired, or dizzy. This happens when your heart beats too slowly or skips a beat. A pacemaker is a small device placed under the skin to help your heart keep a steady beat.
Every year, many patients from countries like Nigeria, Iraq, Oman, and Bangladesh come to India for pacemaker surgery. India gives the same good care as the U.S. or Europe—but at a lower price. The hospitals have modern machines and experienced doctors.
What is a Pacemaker?
A pacemaker is a small electronic device that helps control your heartbeat. It’s usually placed under the skin near your chest or shoulder. The device is used when your heart is beating too slowly or irregularly, which can make you feel tired or dizzy.
A pacemaker keeps track of your heart’s rhythm. If it detects that your heart is not beating as it should, it sends a small electrical pulse to correct it.
It has two parts:
- Pulse generator: This part holds the battery and tiny computer. It creates the electrical signals.
- Leads (wires): These thin wires connect the generator to the heart. They carry the signals that help the heart beat normally.
The pacemaker does not shock the heart. It gives a gentle signal only when needed. It works quietly in the background and helps your heart stay in a healthy rhythm.
Why You Might Need a Pacemaker
Doctors suggest a pacemaker if your heart beats too slowly or not in the right rhythm. This can happen because of:
- Bradycardia: Your heart beats too slowly.
- Arrhythmia: Irregular heartbeat.
- Heart Block: Signal is not moving through the heart as it should.
- Sick Sinus Syndrome: The natural pacemaker in your heart isn’t working right.
- Congenital Problems: Some people are born with signal issues in the heart.
Common symptoms:
- Tiredness
- Feeling dizzy
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Slow heartbeat
- Swollen legs or feet
Types of Pacemakers
Different types of pacemakers are used based on your heart problem:
- Leadless Pacemaker: Small, wireless device placed directly in the heart. No wires.
- Single-Chamber Pacemaker: One wire, usually placed in the right lower chamber of the heart.
- Dual-Chamber Pacemaker: Two wires, placed in both upper and lower right chambers.
- Biventricular Pacemaker (CRT): Three wires. Helps both sides of the heart beat better. Used in heart failure.
Your doctor will tell you which type is best for you.
How is Pacemaker Surgery Done?
The surgery is safe and usually takes 1–2 hours.
1. Through a Vein (Transvenous Method)
- A small cut is made near your shoulder.
- Wires are passed through a vein into your heart.
- Wires are connected to the pacemaker.
- The pacemaker is placed under your skin.
2. Leadless Pacemaker (Catheter-Based)
- A thin tube is inserted in your groin.
- The pacemaker is guided into the heart through the tube.
- It is attached directly inside the heart.
3. Through Open Surgery (Rarely Used)
- A bigger cut is made in the chest.
- Used only when the other ways are not possible.
What Happens After the Surgery?
- You may stay in the hospital for 1–2 days.
- Your heartbeat will be checked.
- An X-ray will make sure the pacemaker is in the right place.
- The doctor will program the device to fit your heart’s needs.
At home, follow these tips:
- Take rest for a few days
- Don’t lift heavy things
- Don’t raise your arm above shoulder level for one week
- Take your medicines as told
Your first check-up is usually after a month. After that, regular check-ups every 6–12 months. Most pacemakers last 7 to 15 years.
