How many heartbeats is not according to the indications for pacemakers, if the heartbeat is consistently less than 40 beats per minute and affects the blood supply to the heart and other organs should be treated with a pacemaker.
A normal person’s heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute, and a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute is called bradycardia.
If the patient’s heart rate is consistently less than 40 beats per minute in a resting state, and it affects the blood supply to the whole body and the heart, resulting in symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and dyspnea, a pacemaker should be installed.
Pacemakers are also used in cases of second-degree type II block, third-degree atrioventricular block, and sick sinus node syndrome.
Some healthy people, such as athletes, who have been exercising for a long time, develop sinus bradycardia without obvious symptoms and do not need pacemaker treatment.
If the patient’s heart is not adapted to the cardiology department, the doctor will be based on the patient’s condition, decision-making whether or not to carry out pacemaker treatment.
