Pacemakers & AICDs: How Modern Technology is Saving Lives
What is a Pacemaker?
A pacemaker is a small device implanted in the chest to regulate slow or irregular heart rhythms. It sends electrical signals to keep the heart beating normally.
What is an AICD (Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator)?
An AICD is a life-saving device for patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest. It detects life-threatening arrhythmias and delivers electric shocks to restore a normal heartbeat.
Who Needs a Pacemaker or AICD?
- Patients with bradycardia (slow heart rate).
- Those with a history of sudden cardiac arrest.
- Individuals with severe arrhythmias.
- Heart failure patients who need additional rhythm support.
Benefits of Pacemakers & AICDs
✔️ Prevents heart failure progression
✔️ Reduces risk of sudden cardiac arrest
✔️ Improves quality of life and longevity
✔️ Monitored remotely for continuous assessment
