About Pacemaker Implantation (Single Chamber)
A single-chamber pacemaker uses one lead to pace the heart and prevent it from beating too slowly. It is suited to people whose slow rhythm does not require the upper and lower chambers to be coordinated.
Under local anaesthesia with sedation, the doctor makes a small cut below the collarbone and passes one lead through a vein to the right ventricle, or sometimes the right atrium. It connects to a pulse generator placed under the skin. The device is tested and programmed before you wake, and the procedure takes about an hour.
Usually a good fit if
- Slow heart rhythm with symptoms such as fainting, dizziness or fatigue, for example slow permanent atrial fibrillation.
- Heart block or pauses documented on ECG or monitoring.
- People who mainly need ventricular pacing and do not need atrial synchrony.
- No active infection.
May need to wait if
- Active infection or fever, which must be treated first.
- Reversible causes of slow heartbeat not yet addressed, such as certain medicines.
- Need for dual-chamber or biventricular pacing for a better result.
- Blocked veins making lead placement hard.
How to prepare
- Have an ECG, rhythm monitoring (such as Holter), echocardiogram, blood tests and chest X-ray.
- Review blood thinners and other medicines with your doctor, who will tell you what to adjust before surgery.
- Report any infection, fever or skin problem near the chest.
- Fast for the hours the team specifies.
- Plan a device card and confirm local follow-up for your pacemaker brand.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Is single-chamber enough for me, or would dual-chamber be better?
- Which brand and model will you use, and is it MRI-conditional?
- How do you reduce the risk of 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
- Pacemaker offered without ECG or rhythm record supporting the need.
- Device chosen without explanation.
- No device-clinic follow-up arranged.
- No infection prevention protocol described.
- Brand not disclosed.
