What is Pacemaker Surgery and What are the Benefits?"

Heart failure is a global epidemic and the number one cause of hospitalization in adults in the India. In order to keep your heart functioning properly, you may need a pacemaker. Pacemaker surgery is a common and generally safe procedure. In this article, we will discuss what pacemaker surgery is, what the risks and benefits are, and what you can expect before, during, and after the surgery.

Pacemaker surgery is a minimally-invasive procedure to insert a pacemaker. A pacemaker is used to regulate a patient’s heart rate. This type of surgery is usually reserved for patients with bradycardia, or an abnormally slow heart rate. During the surgery, the surgeon will make a small incision, usually near the collarbone.

A pacemaker is a small, battery-operated device that helps maintain a normal heart rhythm. The device is implanted under the skin in the upper chest. The pacemaker sends electrical impulses to the heart muscles to make them contract and pump blood. A pacemaker may be needed if you have an irregular heartbeat, bradycardia, or heart block.

There are three main types of pacemakers:
1. A single chamber pacemaker sends electrical impulses to the right ventricle of the heart.
This has 1 wire, which is connected to either the right atrium (upper heart chamber) or right ventricle (lower heart chamber)
2. A dual chamber pacemaker also sends impulses to the right atrium, to help control the timing of contractions between the two chambers.
This has 2 wires, which are connected to the right atrium and right ventricle
3.Biventricular pacemaker, or cardiac resynchronization therapy, is for people who have heart failure and heartbeat problems. This type of pacemaker stimulates both of the lower heart chambers (the right and left ventricles) to make the heartbeat more efficiently.
This has 3 wires, which are connected to the right atrium, right ventricle and left ventricle
 
The type of pacemaker you need will depend on your specific heart problem.

Pacemakers: Who Needs Them?

  1. Sick Sinus Syndrome

It is a condition in which the sinus node, which controls the heart rate, doesn’t work properly. This can cause a slow heartbeat (bradycardia), a fast heartbeat (tachycardia), or a combination of both. Symptoms of sick sinus syndrome can include: a slower pulse than normal (bradycardia) extreme tiredness (fatigue) fainting (or nearly fainting) dizziness or lightheadedness shortness of breath chest pain irregular or fluttering heartbeats (palpitations) Most cases of sick sinus syndrome are thought to be related to age. Over time, the sinus node tissue can become hardened and scarred. This can disrupt the normal pattern of electrical pulses released by the sinus node. Some types of medication can also trigger sick sinus syndrome as a side effect. These include calcium channel blockers and beta blockers.

2. Atrial fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a condition that causes the heart to beat abnormally fast, usually 140 beats a minute or more. Medication can usually treat atrial fibrillation, but some people don’t respond to treatment and need a pacemaker. Sometimes people with atrial fibrillation can have a much slower pulse rate than normal, which can also be intermittent. In these cases, a pacemaker will usually be recommended.

3.Heart block

It occurs when the pulse that needs to be sent from the SA node to the AV node is either delayed or absent. Heart block can be caused by heart damage (acquired heart block) or by congenital defects affecting the heart (congenital heart block). If heart block is causing troublesome symptoms, a pacemaker is usually recommended.

4.Cardiac Arrest

An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a device similar to a pacemaker. It is mainly used to prevent cardiac arrest. A cardiac arrest is a potentially fatal condition where the electrical activity that controls the heart becomes so disrupted that the heart stops beating. An ICD can detect abnormal electrical signals that could indicate that a cardiac arrest is about to happen. If the ICD detects these types of signals, it sends a powerful electrical shock to the heart.
Several factors can increase your risk of having a cardiac arrest, including:
a.Coronary heart disease
b.having a heart attack
c.Congenital heart disease
d.Cardiomyopathy
