Pacemaker Insertion: Regulating Your Heart's Rhythm

At Subang Jaya Medical Centre's Heart, Vascular, and Thoracic Department, we offer specialised procedures to address irregular heart rhythms and ensure proper heart function. One of the key treatments we provide is Pacemaker Insertion, a procedure that involves implanting a small electronic device to regulate your heart's rhythm and ensure it beats at a steady pace.

A pacemaker is a small device that consists of a battery-powered generator and one or more leads (wires) with electrodes at their tips. During the procedure, the pacemaker is placed under the skin, usually in the chest area, and the leads are inserted into the heart through a vein. The pacemaker continuously monitors your heart's electrical activity and delivers electrical impulses when necessary to maintain a regular heartbeat.

1. Restoring Heart Rhythm: Pacemakers treat conditions where the heart beats too slowly (bradycardia) or irregularly. The device detects abnormal heart rhythms and delivers electrical signals to stimulate the heart muscles, ensuring proper heart rate and rhythm.

2. Individualised Programming: Pacemakers are programmed to meet each patient's needs. Our experienced cardiologists tailor the pacemaker settings based on your heart's condition, underlying rhythm disturbances, and your lifestyle requirements. This customisation ensures optimal performance and improves your overall heart function.

3. Regular Monitoring and Follow-Up: After pacemaker insertion, regular monitoring and follow-up visits are essential. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals will assess the pacemaker's performance, adjust its settings as needed, and ensure that it continues to function effectively to support your heart's rhythm.
