If a very slow heart rhythm (bradycardia) is detected, or if there is a high risk of a cardiac rhythm event (detected by a 24-hour cardiac holter or electrocardiographic recorder), a pacemaker (or pacemaker or heart battery) may be required.
When the pacemaker detects an abnormal or transient absence of heart rhythm, it sends electrical impulses to the heart to restore a normal rhythm. It also enables your cardiologist to monitor your heart rate continuously for 2 years via a mobile application. If rhythm disorders are detected despite the pacemaker, the cardiologist may suggest additional treatment.
