Sudden fainting or collapse can be alarming, indicating a heart's struggle to maintain its rhythm. Dr Akhlaque Ahmed, Consultant, Interventional Cardiologist at Narayana Hospital - Brahmananda, Jamshedpur, delves into a lifesaving solution for this condition.

Dr Ahmed introduces us to the pacemaker, an electronic device no bigger than a coin, designed to be implanted just under the skin near the chest. This tiny yet powerful device sends electrical impulses through wires that connect to the heart, helping to regulate its beat. These impulses are crucial for patients whose heartbeats are irregular or too slow, causing them to suddenly faint or collapse due to the heart's inability to pump blood effectively.

The pacemaker plays a vital role in preventing these scary episodes by ensuring the heart doesn't skip a beat. Maintaining a steady heartbeat prevents the patient from losing consciousness due to sudden drops in heart rate or rhythm disturbances. This intervention can not only save lives but significantly improve the quality of life for those with severe heart rhythm problems, making fainting spells a thing of the past.

Dr Ahmed's insights highlight the incredible advancements in cardiac care, offering hope and a renewed lease on life for patients facing heart rhythm challenges.
