What Happens After the Biventricular Pacemaker Implant?

After the pacemaker implant, you will be admitted to the hospital overnight. The nurses will monitor your heart rate and rhythm. You will also have a Holter monitor (a small recorder that is attached to your chest by small electrode patches) placed. It will record your heart rhythm for twelve hours. This is another way to check proper pacemaker function. The morning after your implant, you will have a chest X-ray to check your lungs and the position of your pacemaker and leads. Your Holter monitor will be removed. The results of the Holter monitor will be reported to your doctor.
