A permanent pacemaker is a medical device implanted to regulate abnormal heart rhythms by delivering electrical impulses to the heart muscle, ensuring adequate heart rate and rhythm. This intervention is crucial in managing conditions like bradycardia or heart block, preventing symptoms such as fatigue, syncope, or heart failure. A key complication associated with permanent pacemakers is infection at the implantation site, which can lead to device malfunction or systemic issues.
