hello sir my dads is of 47 year old his heart is weak by doing all medical precautions and tests one of a doctore recommended him to have a operation of having pacemaker so could i know wat type of pace maker he would have and what is the price of dat pacemaker?
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that pacemaker implantation is required when something wrong is going with heart stimulating impulses generation or their conduction through special underlying cardiac conductance system as well. There are several cardiac disorders which deserve such a therapy, in order to supply inadequate cardiac impulses, avoid consequent daily physical performance limitations, and furthermore treat life-threatening conditions. Each cardiac disorder needs a certain pacing (and hence pacemaker type) regimen, one-chamber, dual-chamber, etc., and different pacing regimens, like AAI, VRI(R), DDD(R), etc. It is important to identify the exact primary cardiac disorder, to optimally define the appropriate pacemaker device. So, if you could supply a resting ECG, or an ambulatory 24 to 48 hours ECG recording (if the disorder is transient), it would be possible to clarify this issue. Regarding pacemaker costs, it depends on health insurance policies, available and applied to your living area, county, state, etc. and to certain individuals. There are no strict rules. Privately costs in my region, differ from type of pacemaker, and medical center (approximately 2500 - 4500 euro). Hope to have been helpful to you! Greetings!
