The leadless pacemaker, also known as a leadless pacemakeris an implantable medical device used to control heart rhythm in conditions such as bradycardia (slow heart rate). This device is similar in function to the traditional pacemaker, but differs in how it is implanted.

Traditionally pac pac pacemakers involve implanting thin, flexible leads inside the heart that are connected to the pulse generator, placed under the skin in the chest area. These leads transmit electrical impulses to regulate the heart rhythm when needed.

In the case of the leadless pacemaker the device itself is much smaller and does not require the use of a lead. Because the device is placed directly inside the heart without the need for external leads, using a minimally invasive implantation technique.

Main advantages of the leadless pacemaker include reducing the risk of complications related to the catheter and the external subcutaneous pouch, such as infections and damage to blood vessels or heart muscle.

It is up to the doctor to decide whether or not a patient needs a pacemaker, and which type of pacemaker is best suited to a particular patient's needs.

We are delighted to announce that our hospital has successfully implanted the first ever leadless pacemaker, representing a significant advance in medical technology locally!

This step into the future of cardiac care underscores our commitment to bringing advanced technologies and personalized treatment options to our patients.
