Device Implantation for Heart Rhythm Management
At The Heart Clinic in Gurugram, Dr. Anil Dhall offers expert Device Implantation Services for patients with abnormal heart rhythms and advanced cardiac conditions. With extensive experience and a commitment to compassionate, cutting-edge care, Dr. Anil Dhall specializes in diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders using life-saving cardiac devices. These devices restore normal heart function, prevent sudden cardiac arrest, and improve the quality of life for patients living with complex arrhythmias or heart failure.
What is Cardiac Device Implantation?
Cardiac device implantation involves placing small, battery-powered devices inside the body to help control irregular heart rhythms or support the failing heart. These devices monitor and regulate the electrical activity of the heart to maintain a healthy rhythm and ensure efficient blood circulation. They are commonly recommended for patients with bradycardia (slow heart rate), tachyarrhythmias (fast or irregular rhythms), heart failure, or those at high risk of sudden cardiac death.
Types of Cardiac Devices Implanted
At The Heart Clinic, Dr. Anil Dhall provides comprehensive evaluation, implantation, and post-procedure care for a variety of cardiac devices:
1. Pacemaker Implantation
A pacemaker is used to treat slow heart rhythms (bradycardia). It sends electrical impulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate.
Services include:
- Single-chamber pacemaker implantation
- Dual-chamber pacemaker implantation
- Leadless pacemakers (minimally invasive)
- Battery replacement and pacemaker upgrades
2. Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)
An ICD is a device used to prevent sudden cardiac death in patients at high risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. It detects abnormal rhythms and delivers electric shocks to restore a normal heartbeat.
Services include:
- Single and dual-chamber ICD implantation
- Subcutaneous ICDs (non-transvenous option)
- ICD checkups, battery replacement, and programming
3. Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)
CRT devices are used in patients with heart failure and abnormal heart conduction (typically Left Bundle Branch Block). CRT helps the ventricles beat in sync, improving the heart’s efficiency.
Services include:
- CRT-P (pacemaker-only) implantation
- CRT-D (defibrillator + pacemaker) implantation
- Echo-guided optimization of device settings
4. Loop Recorder Implantation
An implantable loop recorder is a small device placed under the skin to monitor and record abnormal heart rhythms over months to years. It helps diagnose intermittent arrhythmias or unexplained syncope (fainting).
Services include:
- Insertion and remote monitoring
- Data interpretation and rhythm analysis
- Removal post-diagnosis or treatment
Diagnosis and Evaluation Before Device Implantation
Before recommending device therapy, Dr. Dhall performs a comprehensive clinical and diagnostic evaluation that includes:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) – to detect abnormal rhythms
- Holter Monitoring (24–72 hours or longer) – for continuous rhythm tracking
- Echocardiography (ECHO) – to assess heart structure and function
- Electrophysiological (EP) Studies – advanced mapping of heart’s electrical system
- Stress Tests & Cardiac MRI – to assess functional response and structural issues
Treatment and Post-Implantation Care
Dr. Anil Dhall ensures that every patient receives personalized treatment from pre-op to recovery and beyond. After implantation, patients are enrolled in a device follow-up program, which includes:
- Routine device checks and reprogramming
- Remote monitoring and alerts
- Battery life assessments
- Device infection prevention and management
- Lead evaluation and extraction (if needed)
