Do you have a pacemaker and know the purpose of why they are implanted? Have you been referred to have a pacemaker and want to find out more about the device?

A pacemaker is a small device that is placed under the skin in the chest to help control an abnormal heart rhythm. It is a common procedure and often involves a simple recovery period. It is completely natural to feel anxious about the procedure along with having questions about the effectiveness of this device but, most individuals feel that it has a very positive impact on their lives.

Our 'Pacemaker Patient Information' booklet offers a wealth of information about all you need to know: api.heartrhythmalliance.org...

We also have a dedicated Patient Services Team who are here to offer support, advice and information via Patient Helpline +44 (0) 1789 867501 or via email, please visit: heartrhythmalliance.org/aa/...

Alternatively, for further information please visit our webpage: heartrhythmalliance.org/aa/...

We are always here if you need us and hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,
