Welcome to the Leadless Pacemaker Clinic at Emirates Hospitals Group, we offer cutting-edge leadless pacemaker technology for patients seeking a minimally invasive solution to heart rhythm disorders. Our clinic combines advanced technology with expert care to ensure optimal heart health and patient comfort.
What is a Leadless Pacemaker?
A leadless pacemaker is a modern cardiac device designed to regulate the heart’s rhythm without the need for traditional leads or wires. Unlike conventional pacemakers, which require leads to connect the device to the heart, a leadless pacemaker is implanted directly into the heart chamber. This innovative technology offers a less invasive approach, reduces infection risk, and provides effective heart rate management.

Treatments Offered
Our Leadless Pacemaker Clinic provides:
- Leadless Pacemaker Insertion: A minimally invasive procedure to implant a small, self-contained device into the heart to regulate its rhythm.
- Device Monitoring and Adjustment: Regular follow-ups to ensure the pacemaker is functioning properly and to make necessary adjustments.
- Post-Procedure Care: Comprehensive support to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal device performance.
Symptoms Indicating Need for a Leadless Pacemaker
You may benefit from a leadless pacemaker if you experience:
- Persistent dizziness or lightheadedness
- Frequent fainting or near-fainting
- Unexplained fatigue or weakness
- Irregular or abnormally slow heartbeats
Diagnosis for Leadless Pacemaker
Diagnosis typically involves:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG): Evaluates electrical activity to detect abnormal heart rhythms.
- Holter Monitor: Records heart rhythms over an extended period to identify issues and guide treatment.
- Echocardiogram: Provides images of the heart’s structure and function to assess suitability for a leadless pacemaker.
- Stress Test: Measures how the heart performs under physical stress to determine the need for a pacemaker.
Recovery After Leadless Pacemaker Insertion
Recovery includes:
- Post-Procedure Monitoring: Regular check-ups to ensure the pacemaker is working effectively and to monitor overall health.
- Activity Guidelines: Recommendations to avoid strenuous activities and support proper healing.
- Wound Care: Instructions for keeping the incision site clean and preventing infection.
- Medication Management: Following prescribed medications to aid in recovery and device function.
