Is pacemaker And ICD The Same?

So pacemaker and ICD are not the same now that you have asked this question, I will have to show this device to you, which I was using for other reasons. Let me try and show it to you. Okay, so I just showed you the pacemaker. This is what a pacemaker looks like. And if I were to show you what an ICD looks like, this is what an ICD looks like. So surely, the ICD or CRT D is larger than a pacemaker. You can see even from the side, that it is larger than a pacemaker. But the implantation procedure of a pacemaker and defibrillator or a CRT is much the same. They are larger, they are more complex devices. Technically, they are more challenging, and the implantation of these devices is also more challenging.

We Have is Life Normal With Pacemaker? Or Will There Be Any Changes in The Life

Once you have a pacemaker implanted and your local site is healed, you should forget about the pacemaker and you will lead a life as usual as any other patient or any other individual in your vicinity or in your neighborhood. All you need to remember is every six months, you need to revisit your implanting doctor so he can know how your pacemaker surgery is behaving. I told you these are battery-operated devices. These devices need to be continued into interrogation, which can be done either remotely or from our clinic. You can also have these devices monitored remotely from the comfort of your home. Or you must come here to our pacemaker clinics every six months because these batteries last roughly around eight to 12 years.
