Cardiac Devices
Cardiac devices are implantable technologies used to manage abnormal heart rhythms and support heart function in patients with heart failure or life-threatening arrhythmias. These devices continuously monitor the heart and deliver therapy exactly when needed, offering long-term protection and improved quality of life.
Key Cardiac Devices We Offer
-
Pacemaker: A small device implanted under the skin that sends electrical signals to regulate slow or irregular heartbeats.
-
AICD: An Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator that monitors heart rhythm continuously and delivers a shock to correct dangerous fast rhythms, preventing sudden cardiac arrest.
-
CRT / Combo Device: Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy devices that help the heart's chambers beat in a coordinated way, improving pumping efficiency in heart failure patients.
Why Cardiac Devices Are Important
-
Correct slow, fast, or irregular heart rhythms.
-
Prevent sudden cardiac arrest in high-risk patients.
-
Improve heart pumping efficiency in heart failure.
-
Reduce symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, and fainting.
-
Provide continuous, round-the-clock heart monitoring.
Who May Need a Cardiac Device
-
Patients with a persistently slow heart rate.
-
Patients at high risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
-
Patients with heart failure and rhythm irregularities.
-
Patients with recurring fainting or severe fatigue.
-
Patients diagnosed with dangerous arrhythmias.
Benefits of Cardiac Device Implantation
-
Minimally invasive implantation with quick recovery.
-
Long-term protection against life-threatening rhythms.
-
Improved energy levels and daily functioning.
-
Reduced hospital visits for rhythm-related emergencies.
-
Better overall heart function and quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pacemaker used for?
A pacemaker is a small device implanted under the skin that sends electrical signals to help the heart beat at a normal rate, used for patients with slow or irregular heart rhythms.
What is the difference between an AICD and a pacemaker?
A pacemaker corrects slow heart rhythms, while an AICD (Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) monitors for dangerously fast rhythms and delivers a shock to restore normal heartbeat, preventing sudden cardiac arrest.
Who needs a CRT or Combo Device?
A CRT (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) or Combo Device is recommended for patients with heart failure and an abnormal heartbeat pattern, as it helps the heart's chambers beat in a more coordinated and efficient way.
How long does a cardiac device last?
Most cardiac devices such as pacemakers and AICDs last between 8 to 15 years depending on usage, after which the battery or device is replaced through a straightforward procedure.
Is life normal after getting a cardiac device implanted?
Yes, most patients return to their normal daily activities within a few weeks of device implantation, with periodic follow-up checks to ensure the device is functioning correctly.
