Understanding Pacemakers: Who Needs One and Why?

03 Nov Understanding Pacemakers: Who Needs One and Why?

Heart rhythm problems can affect anyone, but when the heart beats too slowly or irregularly, a pacemaker can be a life-changing solution. A pacemaker is a small medical device placed under the skin to help control abnormal heart rhythms. It sends electrical signals that keep the heart beating at a normal and safe pace, allowing patients to live healthier and more active lives.

With 12+ years of clinical experience, Dr. Pankaj Kasar brings advanced cardiac care and specialized expertise to patients in Kalyan and beyond. His Clinic is known for transforming cardiovascular treatment with modern diagnostics, personalized care, and a commitment to patient comfort.

Who Needs a Pacemaker?

A pacemaker is recommended when the heart’s natural rhythm is too slow or irregular. Common conditions include:

• Bradycardia – when the heart beats slower than normal, causing fatigue, dizziness, or fainting.
• Heart Block – a delay in electrical signals that prevents proper heart contractions.
• Irregular Heartbeat (Arrhythmia) – when electrical impulses misfire, leading to skipped beats or pauses.

Some patients experience symptoms like shortness of breath, weakness, or chest discomfort because their heart cannot pump blood efficiently. In such cases, a pacemaker restores normal rhythm and prevents complications.

How a Pacemaker Helps

A pacemaker monitors the heartbeat continuously. When it detects a slow or missed beat, it sends a tiny impulse to correct it. This simple action helps:

✅ Improve blood circulation
✅ Reduce dizziness or fainting spells
✅ Increase physical stamina
✅ Lower risk of heart failure or sudden cardiac issues

With expert procedures like pacemaker implantation, coronary angiography, angioplasty, and IVUS/OCT-guided interventions, Dr. Pankaj Kasar ensures precision, safety, and long-term success for patients.

Personalized and Respectful Patient Care

What makes the Clinic unique is its patient-centered approach. Every individual receives customized evaluation and treatment based on their health needs, lifestyle, and medical history. The team believes in providing world-class care with compassion—supporting both patients and their families through every step of recovery.

A Safer, Healthier Future

Modern pacemakers are reliable, long-lasting, and minimally noticeable. Patients can return to normal routines, travel, work, and enjoy life with confidence. With expert follow-up and monitoring, most people live completely normal lives after implantation.

If you or your loved one has been advised a pacemaker or is experiencing symptoms of irregular heartbeat, consulting a heart specialist can make all the difference.
