Artifical Cardiac Pacemaker surgery is a surgical procedure to regulate fast heartbeat, slow heartbeat, or irregular heartbeat. Irregular heartbeats can cause fainting, palpitations, paralysis and sudden death in individuals. In this case, a pacemaker is recommended for individuals.
This surgical procedure to regulate heartbeat is performed under local anesthesia and takes 60 minutes.

In some individuals, the heart rate may be too slow, too fast, or irregular. In this case, individuals may experience palpitations, dizziness, fainting, paralysis and sudden death.
In addition to individuals with irregular heartbeats, pacemakers are also preferred in individuals with heart attack, heart failure, and congenital heart muscle thickening. In individuals with heart failure, heart contraction is not at an equal level. In this case, a pacemaker is recommended to ensure equal contraction of all heart muscles.

Irregular blood pumping of the heart affects individuals’ daily lives and internal organs. It may cause more serious health problems for individuals in the future. For this reason, individuals with irregular heart rhythms and heart failure are deemed suitable for pacemaker surgery.

Artifical cardiac pacemaker operation is performed to regulate heartbeats and to ensure that slow heartbeats continue to function by stimulating them. Operation is performed with scopy, an imaging method also used during coronary angiography. There is no need for general anesthesia in this procedure. This surgical procedure, performed under local anesthesia, takes 60 minutes.

Patients can stay in the hospital for 1 to 5 days after the operation. Individuals’ wounds heal within 10 to 15 days. However, it is very important to be careful for about 2 months to prevent the cables displacement in the heart from moving. Generally, recovery is seen within 2 months.

After a pacemaker is installed, individuals should not pass through tomography, X-ray devices at airports or shopping malls, and they should always carry their pacemaker cards with them. Such devices affect the function of the pacemaker. Patients should inform doctors about pacemakers before planning any surgery. They should not hold their mobile phones closer than 15 cm to themselves.

Pacemakers have a lifespan of 4 to 10 years. If there is no damage to the cables, the batteries are replaced with a small procedure.
