A pacemaker is a medical device that is used to correct abnormal heart rhythms. It is a small electrical device that is implanted in the heart and transmits electrical signals to help the heart beat more regularly.
There are several types of pacemakers that can be implanted in the heart. The most common type is a single-chamber pacemaker, which is placed in the right atrium. This type of device is intended to treat patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat).
A dual-chamber pacemaker may be placed in patients suffering from bradycardia (slow heartbeat) or atrioventricular block (conduction problems between the atria and ventricles). This type of device is used to stimulate both the atria and the ventricles.
Pacemakers may also be placed to treat other heart rhythm disorders such as sick sinus syndrome (SNS) and premature ventricular syndrome (PVS).
After having a pacemaker installed, the patient may experience some side effects such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness and nausea. These symptoms may be temporary and usually go away within a few days.
Overall, pacemakers are an effective treatment for irregular heart rhythms and can significantly improve patients' quality of life. However, before installing a pacemaker, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination and evaluate the risks and benefits of this treatment method.
A pacemaker is a medical device that provides the function of maintaining the patient’s heart rhythm. It is an electronic device in which, if necessary, you can change parameters, for example, the signal interval. There are different types of pacemakers: ventricular pacemakers and extrasystolic pacemakers. If left untreated, complications can worsen the condition, which can ultimately lead to death. If such a device is installed, it does not need to be removed or removed from the body. The radiation dose from it is considered minimal, but for complete safety you should undergo radiation from the device once a year. All data from this device is entered into the person’s passport, so it will not be difficult for you to restore it.
