A pacemaker, on the other hand, helps regulate slow or irregular heartbeats by sending electrical impulses to maintain a normal rhythm. These devices are essential for patients with certain arrhythmias, heart block, or heart failure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"726\" data-end=\"1133\">\n<\/p><h2 data-start=\"1140\" data-end=\"1193\">Common Reasons for ICD or Pacemaker Implants:<\/h2>\n<ul data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1465\">\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1246\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1197\" data-end=\"1246\">Sudden cardiac arrest or ventricular arrhythmia<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"1288\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1288\">Severely slow heartbeat (bradycardia)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1289\" data-end=\"1327\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1291\" data-end=\"1327\">Heart block or atrial fibrillation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1328\" data-end=\"1378\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1378\">History of fainting due to rhythm disturbances<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1379\" data-end=\"1420\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1381\" data-end=\"1420\">Heart failure with risk of arrhythmia<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1421\" data-end=\"1465\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1423\" data-end=\"1465\">Syncope with unexplained rhythm problems<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1881222 elementor-align-center epicenvent elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"1881222\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dpopup%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6IjIwOTc4IiwidG9nZ2xlIjpmYWxzZX0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Schedule Your Appointment<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49e95b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"49e95b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-start=\"1512\" data-end=\"1551\">How the Implant Procedure Works<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1553\" data-end=\"1965\">The ICD or pacemaker implant is typically a same-day, minimally invasive procedure performed in a cardiac catheterization lab.
