Frequently Asked Questions

A pacemaker is a small device that helps the heart maintain an adequate rhythm when it beats too slowly. Its battery commonly lasts about 8–10 years, though this varies with the device and how much pacing is needed. The cost depends on the device type, the hospital and what is included in the package, so please contact our team with your doctor’s prescription on +91 79958 19888 for a current estimate.

PSVT ablation is an established treatment and the treatment of choice, as it is curative in most cases. It is one of the safe procedures in cardiology, with a high success rate. As with any procedure, there are potential risks; your electrophysiologist can explain how they apply to your specific rhythm and health.

PSVT (paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia) is a sudden episode of an abnormally fast heartbeat that starts in the upper part of the heart and may start and stop abruptly. The palpitations felt during an episode are usually unprovoked, but they can be triggered by caffeinated drinks or stress.

If chest pain is new, severe or persistent, or comes with breathlessness, sweating, nausea, faintness, or pain spreading to the arm, jaw, back or neck, seek emergency medical help immediately (call 108). Do not drive yourself, avoid moving around on your own, and avoid physical or mental stress as much as possible.

A device check is usually arranged within 2 weeks of implantation, mainly to check that the implant site is healing. After that, pacemakers and CRT devices are commonly checked every 3–12 months, and ICDs every 3–6 months, depending on the diagnosis and device settings. Remote monitoring may be used where available. Your follow-up schedule may differ based on your device and clinical needs.
