About Permanent Pacemaker

A permanent pacemaker is a type of pacemaker that is implanted in the chest to help regulate the heart's rhythm. Unlike a traditional pacemaker, which is portable and can be worn on a chain, a permanent pacemaker is fixed to the chest and cannot be removed. This type of pacemaker is typically used in cases where the patient's heart is severely damaged or they have a condition that causes irregular heart rhythms. The pacemaker is controlled by a small device that is implanted in the patient's arm and communicates with the permanent pacemaker to regulate its function. While a permanent pacemaker is a welcome treatment option for patients with irregular heart rhythms, it is important to note that it is not a substitute for a traditional pacemaker. Patients should speak with their healthcare provider to determine if a permanent pacemaker is right for them.
