Intracardiac Devices Implantation

Intracardiac Device Implantation is a life-saving procedure that involves placing specialized cardiac devices inside the heart or blood vessels to regulate heart function and prevent life-threatening conditions. These devices help manage irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), heart failure, and other cardiac disorders. At Aravali Clinic, we offer advanced intracardiac device implantation, ensuring the best possible outcomes with precision and expertise.

What is Intracardiac Device Implantation?

This procedure involves implanting small, battery-operated devices that monitor and control abnormal heart rhythms. These devices improve heart function, reduce the risk of sudden cardiac arrest, and enhance overall quality of life. Depending on the patient’s condition, different types of devices are used.

Types of Intracardiac Devices

• Pacemakers
  A pacemaker is implanted to regulate slow or irregular heartbeats (bradycardia) by sending electrical impulses to stimulate the heart. It helps patients with:
  
  - Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
  - Heart block (signal delay between heart chambers)
  - Fatigue and dizziness due to poor heart rhythm
  
  Pacemakers ensure a steady and normal heartbeat, improving heart efficiency and blood circulation.
  
  
• Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)
  An ICD is recommended for patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) due to dangerously fast or irregular heartbeats (ventricular arrhythmias). It:
  
  - Continuously monitors heart rhythm
  - Delivers a controlled shock to restore normal rhythm when needed
  - Prevents life-threatening arrhythmias
  
  ICDs significantly reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death in high-risk patients.
  
  
• Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT-D and CRT-P)
  CRT devices help patients with heart failure by improving the coordination of heart contractions. There are two types:
  
  - CRT-P (Pacemaker): Helps regulate heart rhythm in heart failure patients.
  - CRT-D (Defibrillator): Combines the benefits of a pacemaker and ICD to prevent dangerous arrhythmias.
  
  CRT devices improve heart efficiency, reduce symptoms of heart failure, and enhance daily life.
  
  

How is the Device Implanted?

• Local anesthesia is given to numb the chest area.
• A small incision is made near the collarbone.
• Thin wires (leads) are guided through a vein to the heart and connected to the device.
• The device is placed under the skin, and the incision is closed.
• The function of the device is tested to ensure proper heart regulation.

The procedure is minimally invasive, usually completed in 1-2 hours, and most patients can return home within a day.

Who Needs an Intracardiac Device?

Doctors recommend these devices for patients with:

- Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
- Severe bradycardia or heart block
- Heart failure with poor pumping efficiency
- High risk of sudden cardiac arrest

These devices improve survival rates, prevent complications, and enhance overall well-being.

Post-Implantation Care and Recovery

• Regular check-ups are needed to monitor device function.
• Patients should avoid heavy lifting or intense physical activity for a few weeks.
• Lifestyle changes, medications, and remote monitoring ensure long-term heart health.
