Cardiovascular technology and procedure breakthroughs are rapidly evolving and making substantial differences for cardiac patients. One such breakthrough is the newest update in pacemaker technology – the Micra Pacemaker. It’s also the smallest pacemaker available.

The Micra Pacemaker doesn’t just rest its laurels on being the smallest pacemaker available. Its implementation and how it exists in a patient’s body is a game-changer for heart patients who have experienced difficulty with pacemakers in the past. “It’s implanted in a totally unique way,” asserts Leon Feldman, MD, FACC with Board Certifications in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, and clinical cardiac electrophysiology. He is also Co-Director of the Electrophysiology (EP) Laboratory/Arrhythmia Center at Eisenhower Medical Center.

Saying that it’s implanted in a unique way may be an understatement. Patients experience this wireless pacemaker in a radically different and improved way than past pacemaker versions with no visible device under the skin. Dr. Feldman demonstrates what makes the Micra pacemaker so appealing to patients in this video.

In this Health Insights video blog – The Micra Pacemaker: The Newest and Smallest Pacemaker – Dr. Feldman informs and helps us understand the substantial benefits of this breakthrough technology, including:

• How the Micra Pacemaker works
• Patient advantages
• Implementation
• Downtime and recovery
• Who benefits from the Micra Pacemaker

The Eisenhower Desert Cardiology Center began using the Micra Pacemaker in the Spring of 2021 and has had successful implementations and happy patients.
