Arryhythmia is a condition which leads to irregular heart beats. At times your heart beat may be too low and at times it may be be very high. When the heart rate is lower than the normal then the cardiologist or heart specialist call it as Bradycardia and when it is higher than the normal then it is called tachycardia. Both may cause problem for the patient. However, pacemaker surgery is done for the patients who have lower than normal heart rate.

The problem with the lower than normal heart rate that most of the patients who come to our Cardiologist Dr Sandeep Parekh at his Arogya Heart Centre or Shalby Hospital Mohali are following:

- Chest Pain

- Shortness of Breath

- Fainting

- Weakness

- Confusion

- Light Headedness

The heart's electrical system typically controls the heartbeat. Electrical signals, called impulses, move through the heart chambers. They tell the heart when to beat. Changes in heart signaling may happen if the heart muscle is damaged. Heart signaling problems also may be caused by changes in genes before birth or by using certain medicines. Pacemaker can be advised in two cases i.e. if you have irregular heart rate or if you are in congestive heart failure.

For patients either having low heart rate or heart failure the best line of treatment is implantation of the pacemaker to manage the hear rate. In very simple language pacemaker can be seen as an alarm clock. Like an alarm clock rings to wake a sleeping person similarly a pacamaker wakes up your heart when it starts to slow down and corrects the heart rate. Alarm clock wakes up the person by making a sound whereas a pacemaker wakes up the heart by sending electrical signal to stimulate the heart muscle.

Pacemakers can be of many types:

Single Chamber Pacemaker

Dual Chamber Pacemaker

Biventricular Pacemaker

A pacemaker only works when it senses trouble with the heartbeat. For example, if the heart beats too slowly then pacemaker sends electrical signals to correct the beat. Dr Sandeep Parekh generally advises certain tests after taking the medical history of the patients as well as basic vitals. These tests are ECG, Holter, Echocardiography and TMT. All tests are not prescribed for all the patients, it depends upon the medical condition. Dr Sandeep Parekh our cardiologist performs the pacemaker implantation procedure at Shalby Hospital, Mohali in Punjab. The procedure is performed in a cathlab and it is a minimmally invasive procedure that needs just a couple of days of stay in hospital.

The cost of the pacemaker procedure or surgery depends upon the cost of the pacemaker used. Cost of pacemaker is the maximum cost in the entore procedure cost. Biventricular pacemaker is the one of the costliest one and hence it is advised by Dr Sandeep Parekh only when it is utmost necessary. The kind of experience and training that Dr Sandeep Parekh has undergone both in India and abroad clearly makes him one of the top most and best cardiologist in Mohali and Punjab when we talk about pacemaker implantation procedure.
