Tree Top Hospital commences Conduction System Pacing Technique for Permanent Pacemaker Implantation procedures. This pacing modality involves the use of artificial electrical stimulation to regulate the heartbeat by directly affecting the heart's natural electrical conduction system. The procedure was performed by Tree Top Hospital cardiologists, Dr. Miqdhaath Shareef and Dr. Amit Agarwal. 

Conduction System Pacing technique involves cardiac pacing devices (pacemakers) with specialized leads placed within the conduction system of the heart. One of the parts of the conduction system is the left bundle branch, which can be accessed for the pacing (left bundle branch pacing-LBBP), via so called trans-ventricular septal approach. These pacing devices generate electrical impulses that stimulate the heart muscle, ensuring that it beats at an appropriate rate and in the correct sequence. It is a physiological pacing technique that activates the normal cardiac conduction and provides synchronized contraction of the right and left ventricles (the chambers that pump blood out of the heart). By this, Pace-maker-included heart failure is avoided, as well.

The choice of technique depends on the Patient's specific heart condition and the most suitable method for regulating their heart rhythm. These procedures are typically performed by interventional cardiologists/ cardiac electrophysiologists, who are trained in managing heart rhythm disorders.

Tree Top Hospital is also providing aftercare for the patients who undertake the pacing surgeries by facilitating the device monitoring for all patients, regular device checks and adjustments will be necessary to ensure it is functioning correctly. These checks can often be done remotely or during scheduled in-office visits. This allows a customized treatment for the patient’s specific needs, with various pacing modes and settings available to match the patient’s condition and activity level.  Therefore, it is important for all patients to attend the regular follow-up visits with the Hospital, since the visits are an essential in monitoring the device’s performance.

The after care service is provided by Medtronic Private Limited in partnership with Tree Top Hospital. They have facilitated to monitor the implanted pacemaker device by providing their own equipment’s, which allows the patients to do high quality checkups in their own country.

Moreover, the aftercare instructions for different patients depend on the type of device implanted and on the overall health and lifestyle of the patients. It is important that the guidance given by doctors are being followed for a for a smooth and optimal functioning of the pacing device.

Tree Top Hospital is happy to offer this potential alternative pacing approach, which has emerged as a newly physiological pacing modality.
