The Pacemaker Checking Procedure
Here's what you can expect during a pacemaker checking procedure:
Appointment
You'll schedule an appointment for a pacemaker check at our clinic. These checks are typically scheduled at regular intervals, as recommended by your cardiologist.
Device Interrogation
During the appointment, a specialized device called a programmer is used to communicate with your pacemaker. This allows us to retrieve data about your pacemaker's activity, including its settings, battery status, and any detected events.
Analysis
The collected data is analyzed by our cardiologist to ensure that the pacemaker is functioning optimally and that there are no issues or irregularities.
Adjustments (if necessary)
Depending on the results of the check, your cardiologist may make adjustments to your pacemaker settings to improve its performance.
Results Discussion
The results of the pacemaker check will be discussed with you, and any necessary follow-up appointments or interventions will be recommended.
