Pacemaker & ICD Implantation
Advanced cardiac rhythm management and sudden arrest protection
Implantation of single, dual, or leadless pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) to correct dangerously slow or erratic heartbeats.
Treatment Overview & Clinical Rationale
Cardiac Pacemakers and ICDs are miniature electronic devices implanted just beneath the collarbone to monitor and regulate heart rhythm. For patients with sick sinus syndrome, complete heart block, or dangerous ventricular arrhythmias, Dr. Sandhu implants precision pacing devices that prevent faintness, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death.
Who Needs This Treatment?
- Patients with abnormally slow heart rate (bradycardia < 40 bpm)
- Individuals experiencing unexplained blackouts or fainting (syncope)
- Patients diagnosed with complete heart block or sinus node dysfunction
- Heart failure patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest (requiring ICD)
The Clinical Procedure
Painless procedure under local anesthesia. Micro-leads are guided through a shoulder vein into the heart chambers and connected to a compact pulse generator housed under the skin.
Expected Recovery Timeline
Overnight observation in hospital. Resume routine light activities in 3-5 days. Arm movement restricted for 2 weeks to allow lead fixation.
