About Pacemaker Implantation (Dual Chamber)
A dual-chamber pacemaker keeps the upper and lower chambers of the heart working in step, using two leads. It treats slow heart rhythms or heart block, particularly when the atria and ventricles need to be coordinated.
Under local anaesthesia with sedation, the doctor makes a small cut below the collarbone and guides two leads through a vein, one to the right atrium and one to the right ventricle. They are connected to a pulse generator placed under the skin. The device is programmed before you wake, and the procedure usually takes one to two hours.
Usually a good fit if
- Slow heart rhythm causing fainting, dizziness or fatigue, such as sick sinus syndrome.
- Heart block where the atria and ventricles do not communicate normally.
- Need for atrial and ventricular synchrony for better symptoms.
- No active infection.
May need to wait if
- Active infection or fever, which must be treated first.
- Reversible causes of slow heartbeat, such as certain medicines, not yet addressed.
- Heart rhythms that need a different device, such as CRT or ICD.
- Blocked veins in the shoulder or chest that make lead placement difficult.
How to prepare
- Have an ECG, rhythm monitoring and echocardiogram, plus blood tests and chest X-ray.
- Review blood thinners and other medicines with your doctor, who will tell you what to adjust before implantation.
- Report any infection, fever or skin problem on the chest.
- Fast for the hours the team specifies.
- Plan a device card and confirm a clinic near home can check your pacemaker brand.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Do I need dual-chamber or would single-chamber be enough?
- Which brand and model will you use, and is it MRI-conditional?
- What is your approach to preventing pocket infection?
- What are the risks of lead movement or a collapsed lung?
- Can my home clinic check this brand?
- What arm and driving restrictions apply?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No ECG or rhythm record supporting the need for a pacemaker.
- Device chosen without explanation.
- No device-clinic follow-up arranged.
- Infection prevention protocol not described.
- Pacemaker offered for symptoms not proven to be due to slow rhythm.
