SINGLE CHAMBER PACEMAKER
DUAL CHAMBER PACEMAKER
BIVENTRICULAR PACEMAKER
AICD (Automatic Intra Cardiac Defibrilator)

Single Chamber Pacemaker

A single chamber pacemaker is used to stimulate the pumping segment of the heart. It is most frequently used when the atria is nonfunctional, i.e. in the case of atrial fibrillation.

Dual Chamber Pacemaker

A dual chamber pacemaker provides pacing of both loading and pumping chambers of the heart, thus achieving maximal efficiency of the two chamber.

Biventricular Pacemaker

A biventricular pacemaker provides enhanced contraction of ventricular (pumping) chamber in patients with congestive heart failure and intraventricular conduction defect.

AICD
Automatic Implantable Cardiac Defribrilator

An Automatic Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (AICD) is placed under the skin under local anesthesia, much like a pacemaker, in patients who have a predisposition to dangerous arrhythmias that could cause loss of consciousness. This device has the ability to detect a dangerous heart rhythm. If such a rhythm exists, the AICD converts the rhythm  back to normal by applying an electrical shock to the heart.  After the AICD is implanted, it is checked several times a year on an outpatient basis.
