Leadless Pacemaker

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.
