Benefits of a pacemaker:
- Saves lives irregular heart beats by regulating the heart’s rhythm; a pacemaker can often eliminate the symptoms of arrhythmia, such as the feeling of drowsiness, dizziness and the chance of fainting. This gets your life back on track and gets your heart pumping at the right pace as a result enough oxygen and energy is reaching different areas of your body at the correct time and with the right amounts.
- The implantable pacemaker is "implanted" into the human body and is wireless. This allows the patient to carry on with their day to day activities without being restrained to a hospital bed or chair. It is very small and barely feels like it is there allowing the person in possession with it to walk, run, exercise to their heart's content. In other words the artificial pacemaker does not interfere with the person's daily life and does not restrict them from doing any physical activity. It feels like they have a proper functioning heart, that's how much the artificial pacemaker does not affect people.
- Patients having a pacemaker implanted into their body gives them "piece of mind" and puts them at rest knowing that there is something maintaining and monitoring their heart beat. They feel safer knowing that they are in the hands of trained doctors due to this the anxiety, stress and depression levels of the patients decrease significantly. This results in better life styles and health for the patients knowing that their heart isn't going to suddenly fail and that there is hope for another day. This is a major benefit!
