it?-Cardiologists Take

• People often associate the term pacemaker with
  a frail, sick person on bed-rest or confined to a
  limited life. However, the notion that sick
  people only use pacemakers is further from the
  truth famous entertainers, public figures and
  even professional athletes have had pacemakers,
  says a cardiologist in Kolkata.

Why do people get pacemakers?

  the most common cause is an abnormal heart
  rhythm, which can be a condition in and of itself
  or the result of a primary condition.

• 1.Has an abnormally low heart rate (bradycardia)
  or high (tachycardia)

  heart rate, such as beta-blockers

• According to the heart specialist in Kolkata,
  even though pacemakers are a big deal after
  all, they can prevent heart failure getting one
  isnt always at the top of the list, even when
  cardiovascular symptoms arise.
• It is entirely possible to require a pacemaker
  and be unaware of it. But if one knows the
  symptoms of abnormal heart rhythm and other heart
  conditions, they can lookout for signs that may
  indicate that they need a pacemaker, such as
• 1.Frequent fainting
• 2.Inexplicable fatigue (despite getting enough
  sleep and staying healthy, one always feels
  tired) Inability to exercise, even lightly,
  without becoming dizzy or lightheaded

  in the chest (without exercise)

What to expect with a pacemaker

• In most cases, a pacemaker will not interfere
  with ones daily life once one has recovered from
  the implant surgery. The main distinction is that
  one must visit their surgeon regularly to ensure
  that their pacemaker functions properly. Most
  patients can still exercise, even vigorously, but
  its best to consult a doctor first because each
  persons situation is unique.
• It is also important to inform other health care
  providers, such as ones dentist and primary care
  physician, that they have a pacemaker. Specific
  medical procedures, such as MRIs can cause the
  pacemaker to malfunction. For more details,
