Do you often feel dizzy or lightheaded? Have you actually fainted (Syncope) or had a “blackout”? Check your pulse. If it is consistently below 60 beats per minute, your heart’s natural electrical generator (Sinus Node) might be failing. Heart rate too slow? Feeling dizzy? Dr. Avishek Saha explains 5 vital secrets of Pacemaker Implantation in Kolkata—including MRI-safe and Leadless options.
Medicines cannot “speed up” a heart permanently. You need a new spark.
Dr. Avishek Saha, a specialist in cardiac electrophysiology, explains Pacemaker Implantation in Kolkata—the tiny device that acts as a backup generator to keep your heart beating perfectly.
1. It’s a Tiny “Clock,” Not a Machine Heart rate too slow? Feeling dizzy? Dr. Avishek Saha explains 5 vital secrets of Pacemaker Implantation in Kolkata—including MRI-safe and Leadless options.
Patients imagine a bulky box.
- The Reality: Modern pacemakers are smaller than a matchbox and weigh just 20-30 grams.
- The Placement: Dr. Saha places it under the skin below your collarbone (Sub-Clavicular Pocket). It is invisible from the outside.
- The Function: It monitors your heart 24/7. It only fires when your natural heart rate drops too low. If your heart beats normally, the device stays asleep (saving battery).
2. Single vs. Dual Chamber?
Your doctor might mention “Single” or “Double” chamber.
- Single Chamber: One wire. Used if only the bottom chamber is slow (mostly for Atrial Fibrillation patients).
- Dual Chamber (The Gold Standard): Two wires. One in the top chamber, one in the bottom.
- The Benefit: This mimics the natural “lub-dub” sequence of the heart, providing better blood flow and energy than a single chamber device.
3. The New Era: “Conduction System Pacing” (LBBP)
This is where Dr. Saha’s expertise shines.
- Old Way: Pacing from the right ventricle tip. This is easy but unnatural and can weaken the heart over 10 years.
- Dr. Saha’s Way: He specializes in Left Bundle Branch Pacing (LBBP).
- The Secret: He screws the lead deep into the heart’s natural wiring system. This makes the heart squeeze naturally, preserving its strength forever.
4. MRI-Safe Forever
“If I get a pacemaker, can I ever get an MRI scan?”
- The Answer: Yes, if you choose the right device.
- The Tech: Dr. Saha exclusively implants MRI-Conditional Pacemakers.
- The Freedom: Whether you need a knee MRI or a brain scan 10 years from now, your device is 100% compatible.
5. Leadless Pacemakers (Micra)
For specific patients, Dr. Saha offers the futuristic “Leadless Pacemaker.”
- The Tech: It is the size of a vitamin capsule.
- The Procedure: It is implanted directly inside the heart through the leg vein.
- The Advantage: No wires, no pocket under the skin, and no scar on the chest.
