Nawanshahr, June 16: 19-year-old boy who was suffering with recurrent syncope, a rhythm abnormality of the heart, treated successfully with pacemaker implantation at Ivy Hospital Nawanshahr recently. The boy travelled from Canada to get treated here.
Dr Hitesh Gurjar, consultant cardiologist said that the boy was diagnosed with a rhythm abnormality of heart and was found to have low pulse rate and heart block. He underwent conduction system pacing which is a technique in which pacemaker lead is fixed to the left bundle of the heart. This technique prevents development of heart dysfunction (weak heart) which can develop over a long time in cases of normal pacemaker implantation, informed Dr Gurjar.
Recurrent syncope refers to a diverse group of conditions where the autonomic nervous system suddenly fails to maintain either the blood pressure or heart rate resulting in insufficient cerebral perfusion and loss of consciousness.
