Dual Chamber Pacemaker

Dual Chamber Pacemaker (PPM) & ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) – Advanced Treatment for Heart Rhythm Disorders

Effective Solutions for Bradycardia, Arrhythmias, and Sudden Cardiac Arrest

What Are Dual Chamber PPM & ICD Devices?

Dual Chamber Pacemakers (PPM) and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) are advanced cardiac devices designed to manage abnormal heart rhythms and restore the heart’s electrical function. These devices are life-saving for patients with conditions like bradycardia (slow heart rate), arrhythmias, and those at risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).

  • A Dual Chamber Pacemaker (PPM) regulates heart rate by sending electrical signals to both the right atrium and ventricle, ensuring proper synchronization between heart chambers.
  • A Dual Chamber ICD offers pacing and shock therapy to prevent life-threatening arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.

These devices are implanted under the skin, typically below the collarbone, with leads (wires) inserted into the heart.

Why Are Dual Chamber PPM & ICDs Implanted?

Dual Chamber Pacemaker (PPM) and ICD implantation is recommended for patients with:

  • Bradycardia (slow heart rate) or heart block (electrical conduction problems)
  • Atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response
  • Ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF), which may cause sudden cardiac arrest
  • Heart failure patients with a reduced ejection fraction and risk of arrhythmias
  • History of fainting (syncope) due to arrhythmias
  • Post-heart attack patients with damaged heart tissue

Both devices provide critical heart rhythm management and prevent sudden cardiac arrest by detecting dangerous arrhythmias and delivering immediate shocks (ICDs only) or pacing.

 How the Dual Chamber PPM & ICD Implantation Procedure Works

  1. Pre-Procedure Evaluation: Cardiac tests like ECG, echocardiogram, Holter monitoring, and electrophysiology studies are conducted.
  2. Implantation: Under local anesthesia and sedation, the pacemaker or ICD is implanted beneath the skin of the chest.
  3. Lead Placement: Leads are threaded through veins to the right atrium and ventricle, connected to the device.
  4. Programming & Testing: The device is programmed to detect abnormal rhythms and deliver pacing or shocks as needed.

🕒 Procedure Duration: 1–2 hours
🏥 Hospital Stay: 1–2 days
⏱️ Recovery Time: 5–7 days

Benefits of Dual Chamber PPM & ICD Devices

 

Feature

Benefits for Patients

Who Needs a Dual Chamber PPM or ICD?

Dual Chamber Pacemakers (PPM) and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) are suitable for:

  • Patients with heart block or sinus node dysfunction
  • Individuals with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias such as VT or VF
  • Heart failure patients at risk of arrhythmic events
  • People at risk for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)
  • Individuals who faint or feel lightheaded due to slow heart rhythms or arrhythmias

Your doctor will evaluate your condition and recommend the best device based on your heart health and medical history.
