What is a pacemaker?
A pacemaker is an electrically charged medical device. Your surgeon implants it under your skin to help manage irregular heartbeats called arrhythmias.
Modern pacemakers have two parts. One part, called the pulse generator, contains the battery and the electronics that control your heartbeat. The other part is one or more leads to send electrical signals to your heart. Leads are small wires that run from the pulse generator to your heart.
Why do I need a pacemaker?
You need a pacemaker if your heart is pumping too quickly or slowly. In either case, your body doesn’t get enough blood. This can cause:
fatigue
fainting or lightheadedness
shortness of breath
damage to vital organs
eventual death
A pacemaker regulates your body’s electrical system, which controls your heart rhythm. With each heartbeat, an electrical impulse travels from the top of your heart to the bottom, signaling your heart’s muscles to contract.
How is pacemaker surgery performed?
Implanting a pacemaker typically takes one to two hours. You’ll receive a sedative to relax you and a local anesthetic to numb the incision site. You’ll be awake during the procedure.
Your surgeon will make a small incision near your shoulder. They’ll guide a small wire through the incision into a major vein near your collarbone. Then the surgeon will lead the wire through your vein to your heart. An X-ray machine will help guide your surgeon through the process.
Using the wire, your surgeon will attach an electrode to your heart’s right ventricle. The ventricle is the lower chamber of the heart. The other end of the wire attaches to a pulse generator. This contains the battery and electrical circuits.
What happens after pacemaker surgery?
You may go home that evening, or you could stay in the hospital overnight. Before you go home, your doctor will make sure the pacemaker is programmed properly for your heart’s needs. Your doctor can reprogram the device as needed at follow-up appointments.
Over the next month, you should avoid rigorous exercise and heavy lifting. You may also need to take over-the-counter medications for any discomfort. Ask your doctors what pain relievers are safest for you.
What are the complications associated with a pacemaker?
Every medical procedure has some risks. Most risks associated with a pacemaker are from the surgical installation. They include:
an allergic reaction to anesthesia
bleeding
bruising
damaged nerves or blood vessels
an infection at the site of the incision
a collapsed lung, which is rare
a punctured heart, which is also rare
Most complications are temporary. Life-altering complications are rare
