Your pacemaker is a modern miracle, a scientific medical solution to the electrical problems of a slow heartbeat. The pacemaker (cardiac pacemaker) makes it possible to continue the normal functioning of the heart, in millions of patients in the world. Dr. Ivan Trajkov, electrophysiologist cardiologist at the 'Acibadem Sistina' Clinical Hospital, explains how you should live and what you should pay attention to if you have a pacemaker fitted. How does this pacemaker work? A pacemaker is a small computer that is connected to your heart via several thin wires (electrodes). Impulses travel through these electrodes to your heart, and are timed to appear at regular intervals, just like the impulses of your natural pacemaker. Usually, these pacemakers work only when they need to work.
The pacemaker is deactivated if your Hong Kong Telegram Number Data heart rate is above the set limit. if the heart rate falls below the set limit, the pacemaker is activated again. In a way, the pacemaker works like a thermostat. The difference between a pacemaker and a thermostat is that a pacemaker works based on heart rate, while a thermostat works based on temperature. How long do pacemaker batteries last and how are they replaced? The batteries of modern pacemakers last much longer than those of previous models (12-14 years). Like any electronic device, the pacemaker also requires a certain amount of care. For example, batteries will wear out over time, and therefore need to be replaced. This is a minimal surgical procedure. When the batteries start to run out, your pacemaker will slow down, but it won't stop immediately. Using a special analyzer, your doctor will be able to detect the first warning signs of the battery's decline.
Measure your pulse Measuring yourheart rate is a good way to test if your heart is pumping regularly. With each beat, the heart pumps blood through your blood vessels. You can feel the pulse if you place the tips of two fingers on the inside of the wrist, or on the neck artery. The number of beats is the same as the number of heartbeats. Measure your pulse for one minute, note the number of beats, so you can see if it is below the acceptable limits of your pacemaker. Your doctor will tell you how many beats per minute the heart should have. If your pulse is too slow or too fast, you should definitely contact your doctor. Medicines should be taken according to the doctor's recommendation It is very important to follow the instructions for taking the medicine issued by the doctor. The reason for this is that the medicines work together with the pacemaker and thus help the heart to work regularly.
