About Single Chamber Pacemaker Implantation

Pacemakers are small implantable devices used to help maintain proper heart rhythm in patients with irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias); they can monitor the patient's heart rate and emit electrical pulses when necessary to correct any irregularities. The pacemaker can be implanted into either the chest or in the abdominal region. An incision is made into the chest (or the abdomen), the pacemaker and its lead are inserted in the pocket created, and the lead tip is connected to the heart. The single chamber pacemaker, a particular type of pacemaker, has one lead placed in either the upper or lower chamber of the heart. Read More about Single Chamber Pacemaker Implantation →
