Pacemakers are devices that can be placed in your body through surgery to help or support the electrical system in the heart. Pacemakers help stabilize your heart's abnormal rhythms and help prevent the issues that can disrupt your life. Let’s know the types of pacemakers.  

Single chamber pacemaker - it is a kind of pacemaker that mainly carries electrical impulses to the right ventricle of the heart. 

Dual chamber pacemaker - it is a kind of pacemaker that carries electrical impulses to the right atrium and the right ventricle of your heart to benefit in controlling the timing of contractions between both chambers of the heart. 

Biventricular pacemaker - also known as cardiac resynchronization therapy, which is made for people with heart failure and heart issues. This kind of pacemaker helps stimulate the lower heart chambers to make the heart beat more effectively.

Surgical options for Pacemaker

There are three types of pacemaker procedures such as vein-based, catheter-based, or surgical-based.

Catheter-based procedure - this is a leadless pacemaker method that only helps treat the conditions entailing the one chamber of your heart. During this procedure, a catheter or a tube-like device is to your artery and then threads it up to the heart. 

Transvenous or through a vein procedure - this procedure is majorly used for adults. In this procedure, your heart specialist will make a small incision to access a vein that runs underneath your collarbone, to your neck or your arm, near the heart. 

Surgical-based procedure - a surgeon will make a small incision in your chest, insert the lead through the cut, and then attach the lead to the heart. The heart specialist or surgeon will connect the leads to the pacemaker. The pacemaker will be inserted into the pocket beneath the skin of your abdomen.
