Leadless Pacemakers & ICDs
A leadless pacemaker is a small, self-contained capsule placed directly inside the right ventricle of the heart through a vein in the leg. Because there is no chest pocket and no leads, it avoids many of the problems linked to conventional pacemaker leads and pockets.
An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) continuously monitors the heart rhythm and can deliver pacing or a shock to treat dangerous ventricular arrhythmias in patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
Whether a leadless device, a conventional system or an ICD is right for you depends on your heart rhythm, overall health and other factors, which Dr. Kumar will discuss with you in detail.
