News Desk, News Nation 360 : An AI-driven, wireless injectable pacemaker was successfully inserted at Manipal Hospitals, one of India's biggest hospital networks, marking a revolutionary advancement in cardiac treatment. Abbott created the Aveir Leadless pacemaker, which just days ago made its debut in India. Interestingly, Manipal Hospital in Dhakuria is now the first facility in Eastern India to carry out the operation. With the recent implantation of this life-saving device, a 65-year-old patient became the first in this area to receive the cutting-edge pacemaker. The novel pacemaker, which is already in use in the US and Europe, offers Indian patients a less intrusive and safer option than conventional pacemakers for the treatment of cardiac rhythm abnormalities. Recently, Manipal Hospitals showcased the rising demand for pacemaker insertions in India and presented the Aveir Leadless Pacemaker as the solution. Renowned cardiologists like Dr. P.K. Hazra, Dr Sumanta Chatterjee, Dr Soumya Kanti Dutta, and Dr Dilip Kumar have discussed the merits of this state-of-the-art technology. Nanotechnology-based, implanted inside the heart of 2.4 grams weight, the Aveir Leadless Pacemaker ensures a secure position inside the heart. The device is life-lasting, that is, for 20-25 years, and thus less surgery is required compared with traditional pacemakers. Its non-magnetic nature makes it compatible with many devices and environments and minimizes interference caused in the patient's daily life. Medical technology has advanced a lot and, in this case, offers great promise for patients requiring pacemaker implantation to improve their quality of life and reduce the burden of multiple surgeries. Dr. P.K. Hazra, Interventional Cardiologist, Manipal Hospital, Dhakuria explained the significance of the new device and that the pacemaker has a special benefit despite not being rechargeable. It provides patients with a flexible and long-term solution by being upgradeable from a single to a dual-chamber design. It is capable of effectively separating and controlling the heart's right atrium and right ventricle. In addition to removing the need for external wires and invasive surgery, this pacemaker has Bluetooth-enabled technology that enables remote monitoring and changes. Regular hospital visits are no longer necessary because specialists from around the globe can now keep an eye on their patients.
