Pacemaker Implant Double Chamber (Only Surgery)

A Dual Chamber Pacemaker is a pacemaker with two attached leads. The Dual Chamber Pacemaker is placed in the chest cavity, and the leads are connected to both the right atrium and right ventricle. The small battery-charged generator is used to help the ventricles pump blood in an appropriate quantity. This pacemaker also helps quicken the pace of the heartbeat within those ventricles to ensure adequate amounts of blood being are being pumped to the heart.

The Pacemaker Implant Double Chamber is a device used to regulate and speed up the heart rate in at least two of the chambers of the heart. This helps treat conditions like syncope (fainting spells) or congestive heart failure. In rare cases, it is used to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as well. The Dual Chamber Pacemaker Placement is generally inserted just under the collarbone and underneath the skin, usually under the subclavian vein. The pacemaker’s leads are then threaded down to the heart till the right atrium and ventricle are reached. The leads are then connected to the right atrium and ventricle.

The Pacemaker Implantation is considered a minor surgery and most patients are cleared to go home within 24 hours of having the procedure. Pacemakers can be inserted while the person is under local anesthetic to help numb any pain that would otherwise be associated with the procedure. Pacemaker Placement is important to ensure that the pacemaker can be put in properly. It also must be threaded through the veins to the heart to help regulate the slow heartbeat.
