Preparing for Pacemaker Implantation

Pacemaker implantation is a common procedure that helps manage heart rhythm disorders. Understanding the process can alleviate patient anxiety.

The Procedure

The procedure typically takes about one to two hours. Patients are given local anesthesia, and a small incision is made to place the pacemaker under the skin.
