Pacemaker, ICD & CRTD Implantation

Advanced Cardiac Device Therapy by Dr. Priyam Mukherjee

Dr. Priyam Mukherjee, an experienced and trusted interventional cardiologist, offers advanced cardiac device implantation services including Pacemakers, Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs), and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy with Defibrillator (CRT-D). With years of expertise in managing complex heart rhythm disorders and heart failure, Dr. Mukherjee ensures precise diagnosis, appropriate device selection, and expert implantation for better patient outcomes.

Pacemaker Implantation

A pacemaker is a small device implanted under the skin to help regulate abnormal heart rhythms (bradycardia). It ensures that the heart beats at a normal rate and rhythm, preventing dizziness, fatigue, and fainting.

When is it needed?

  • Slow heart rate (bradycardia)

  • Heart block

  • Syncope due to conduction disorders

Procedure Highlights:

  • Minimally invasive

  • Usually performed under local anesthesia

  • Quick recovery and same/next-day discharge in most cases

ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator)

An ICD is a life-saving device designed to detect and correct dangerous arrhythmias (especially ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation) that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest.

Who needs an ICD?

  • History of sudden cardiac arrest

  • Life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias

  • Severe heart failure with low ejection fraction

What it does:

  • Continuously monitors heart rhythm

  • Delivers shock or pacing therapy to restore normal rhythm

CRT-D (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy – Defibrillator)

CRT-D is an advanced device that combines the functions of a pacemaker and ICD, while also helping both sides of the heart beat in sync. It is especially beneficial for patients with heart failure and ventricular dyssynchrony.

Key Benefits:

  • Improves heart function and symptoms

  • Reduces hospitalizations

  • Enhances quality of life in advanced heart failure patients
