A heart, which is healthy, has a pacemaker of its own. It regulates the pace by its own. However, it is not the case with every heart and do not beat regularly. For correction of these pace problems, a pacemaker device is necessary. A pacemaker is a medical device that helps to the heart to beat regular. If the heart beats are too slow, or too fast, the adjustments are done in this device. The regulation of the heart beat is done through electrical impulses as the electrodes contact the muscles of the heart.
Function of Pacemaker
The primary function of the pacemaker is for controlling the arrhythmic heart beat. Other functions of the pacemaker are treating faint spells, congestive heart failure and in some cases for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Medical Conditions needed for Pacemaker
Bradycardia
It is a heart condition, where the heart beat is less than 60 beats for a minute, in an adult body.
Heart Block
The condition is an indication of the electrical signals passing in between the lower and upper chambers of the heart, slowed down or completely or partially blocked.
Atrial Fibrillation
A pacemaker also helps to regulate heart beat, especially arrhythmias medical procedure treatment.
Heart Disease and Aging
The ability of the sinus nodes to correct he heart pace is damaged because of heart diseases and aging will lead to slow down, leading to long paused heart beats. Such problems can be corrected by the pacemaker.
Advantages of Implantation of the Pacemaker
- It can easily be implanted even in the outpatients and even can be done, when the patient is awake.
- It is easily done to the patient, just by giving local anaesthesia.
- Pacemaker implantation can be a very effective approach the slow heart beat condition called bradycardia.
- The implantation gives better relief from heart beats that are irregular.
- A normal living condition can be achieved with the pacemaker implantation.
- A good and normal quality of life can be enjoyed with the implanatation.
Types of Pacemaker
There are different kinds of pacemakers designed to be implanted for various conditions.
- Demand Heart Pacemaker
Demand Heart Pacemaker has the device inbuilt for sensing the too slow heart beat and then the signal will be turned on. Once the heart beat becomes to the normal rhythm, the pacemaker will then be signaled off, automatically.
- Single chamber Pacemaker
Single chamber pacemaker has a single wire connected to the chamber of the heart.
- Dual-chamber pacemaker ( Biventricular)
The wires of the pacemaker are connected two chambers called atria, an upper chamber and ventricle, the lower chamber present in the heart. The functions of these dual chambers are well controlled and coordinated by the pacemaker to lead to natural pace of the heart beat.
- Triple chamber pacemaker
This pacemaker is implanted for the patients, having weak heart muscles. One lead of it connected to the right atrium and another for stimulation of both left and right ventricles.
- Temporary or external Heart Pacemaker
When a cardiac crisis is occurred, the patient is implanted with this pacemaker for initial stabilization.
- Permanent or internal Heart Pacemaker
This is a pacemaker that is permanently implanted under the skin, as a small pocket internally and is within the body for the rest of the life.
