A healthy heart has a steady, regular rhythm, but in some people this rhythm can be disrupted. This condition is called arrhythmia. Arrhythmias can have many types and causes, and a PPM is not needed for all arrhythmias. Your doctor will consider the type of arrhythmia you have, how it makes you feel, and any health problems you might have before deciding if you need a PPMApacemaker is a small device that sends electrical impulses to the heart muscle to maintain a suitable heart rate and rhythm. If your heart is having trouble maintaining its own rhythm,you need pacemaker. A permanent pacemaker (PPM) is a small device that is inserted under the skin of your chest to help the heart beat in a regular rhythm. PPMs have two parts: a small battery-powered pacemaker and leads that are connected to your heart. It sits under the skin on the left or right side of your upper chest. The pacemaker sends electrical signals to your heart to keep it pumping at a normal rate. A pacemaker is a small, battery-operated, computer-driven device that’s typically implanted just beneath your skin, usually in the chest area right under the collarbone. Small wires (electrodes) connect the pacemaker to your heart.When the pacemaker’s computer senses an abnormal rhythm, it sends electrical signals through the attached electrodes to your heart, jump-starting it back into an appropriately timed beat.A pacemaker can be programmed to act during episodes of bradycardia (an excessively slow beat), atrial fibrillation (a fast, fluttery heart rhythm), or cardiac arrest (cessation of the beat altogether).
