Best Pacemaker Implantation in Chennai for Heart Rhythm Disorders
Regain Rhythm. Regain Control.
A pacemaker is a small, implantable medical device designed to correct slow or irregular heart rhythms (bradycardia). When the heart beats too slowly, it causes fatigue, dizziness, and fainting. A pacemaker helps regulate your heartbeat, ensuring your body receives an adequate supply of oxygen-rich blood.
We offer the best pacemaker implantation in Chennai for patients with electrical disturbances of the heart. With a focus on safety, precision, and long-term support, Dr Deep Chandh Raja provides comprehensive pacemaker implantation in Chennai before, during, and after your procedure at Kauvery Hospital.
When is Pacemaker Implantation in Chennai Needed?
Pacemaker implantation in Chennai is most commonly used to treat bradycardia, a condition where the heart beats too slowly. You may be a candidate for pacemaker implantation if you have:
- Persistent fatigue or weakness during simple activities
- Shortness of breath or chest discomfort without exertion
- Lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting spells
- Diagnosed heart block or sinus node dysfunction
- Slow heart rate confirmed by ECG or Holter monitor
Your cardiologist may recommend electrophysiological testing (EPS) to assess your heart’s electrical system and determine if pacemaker implantation in Chennai is necessary.
Types of Pacemakers for Pacemaker Implantation in Chennai
We provide customised pacemaker solutions for pacemaker implantation in Chennai based on each patient’s condition, lifestyle, and medical needs.
Single-Chamber Pacemaker
- This device regulates the rhythm of one heart chamber — usually the right ventricle. It is commonly used for patients needing simple pacemaker implantation in Chennai.
Dual-Chamber Pacemaker
- This pacemaker connects to both the right atrium and right ventricle, helping coordinate timing between the upper and lower heart chambers for more effective pumping. Most commonly recommended for pacemaker implantation in Chennai.
Conduction-system/ left bundle branch Pacemaker
Specific locations within the right ventricle are chosen to directly capture the heart’s native conduction system. This advanced technique for pacemaker implantation in Chennai reduces long-term complications like heart failure and atrial fibrillation.
