A dual-chamber pacemaker helps regulate the heartbeat by sending electrical signals to both the atrium and ventricle of the heart. It ensures that these chambers beat in a coordinated manner, maintaining an effective heart rhythm.
The device is implanted under the skin near the shoulder and connected to the heart with two leads. It is typically used in conditions such as bradycardia (slow heart rate) or heart block.
The procedure is minimally invasive, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days.
Consult your cardiologist to learn whether a dual-chamber pacemaker is suitable for your condition.
