Know The New Pacemaker Technologies

Pacemakers are mankinds gift to the human race.
They help the heart to beat when the normal
functioning is disrupted. A pacemaker is a small
device that is placed in the abdomen or the chest
which helps the heart to beat and control
abnormal rhythms of the heart. One can get the
best pacemaker planted at the heart hospitals in
Bangalore.

A pacemaker is used to treat a condition called
the arrhythmias where there is a problem with the
rate and the rhythm of the heart and the device
uses the electrical pulses to aid the normal
beating of the heart and returning to
normalcy.Advancement and new technologies help
the pacemakers to become better and modern. In
the last several years, pacemakers have witnessed
some ground-breaking advancements and
technologies that have improved the pacemakers
that were being used since the last generation.

A few of the newer pacemaker technologies
are as follows
Leadless Pacers
Leadless pacemakers are the future of the
cardiac pacers. These pacemakers employ single
chamber system in order to pace only the
right-ventricle removing the need for lead. These
pacemakers are self-sufficient and are planted
using the transcatheter sheath and are apt for
the patients who require right ventricular
pacing.

MRI-Safe Pacers One
of the biggest technological advancements in the
field of pacemakers is the creation of MRI-safe
pacemakers that allow the patients to undergo
MR-imaging examinations without the fear of
obstructions and damage to the pacemakers. Before
these pacers were developed, people with
pacemakers could not undergo an MRI
examination.

Wireless, Automated
Pacemaker Monitoring Another important
development in the field of pacemakers, many
pacemakers today come fitted with wireless
connectivity that allows external monitoring of
the pacers. This system gives the patients
freedom from weekly or bi-weekly visits to the
hospital to have their device checked and also,
allows them to monitor the pacer at their
convenience, even on a daily basis. This system
allows the doctors to keep track of the device
from remote locations and also, of the
patient39s heart and keep record until they
meet face to face at the next appointment.

Improved battery life Manufacturers are
working tirelessly on improving the pacemakers
battery life. As the trend has seen a shift in
the lifespan of people with pacemakers and
younger people getting fitted with pacemakers, it
is important to take the battery life of the
pacemakers into consideration. Every time the
battery dies, pacemakers need to be replaced or
at least, batteries need replacement and this
replacement requires surgery which is no joke.

8
Pacemakers battery life has become a major topic
for discussion and companies manufacturing
pacemakers have started working on making
long-lasting pacers with longer battery
life.Newer technologies are being implemented
by the heart hospitals around the world in
relation to the pacemakers and to find the best
technologies in pacemakers, visit the heart
hospital in Bangalore today.
