Temporary and Permanent Pacemaker Implantation

Temporary pacemakers are used in emergencies or short-term conditions where heart rhythms need regulation. These devices provide immediate intervention for arrhythmias, enabling the heart to maintain its function while underlying causes are addressed. On the other hand, permanent pacemakers are implanted for long-term management of chronic heart rhythm disorders, such as bradycardia or heart block.

Both types of pacemaker implantation involve placing electrodes in the heart to send electrical signals that maintain a steady heartbeat. These procedures are life-saving for individuals with severe arrhythmias and significantly enhance their quality of life. Modern pacemakers are compact, durable, and designed to adapt to the body's needs, ensuring optimal cardiac performance.
