Pacemaker Interrogation

A pacemaker interrogation is a diagnostic test that is used to evaluate the function and performance of a pacemaker. The test is typically conducted by a cardiologist, such as Dr. Ravi Bhushan, and is used to ensure that the pacemaker is working properly and to make any necessary adjustments to the device.

During the test, the patient's pacemaker is connected to a specialized computer called a programmer. The programmer allows Dr. Ravi Bhushan to communicate with the pacemaker and access information about the device's performance. This includes information such as the device's battery status, the number of heartbeats the pacemaker has paced, and any changes in the patient's heart rate or rhythm.

The pacemaker interrogation is a non-invasive and safe procedure, and it is usually performed in the cardiology clinic. This test typically takes around 30 minutes to complete and it is necessary for pacemaker patients to undergo this test regularly, depending on the device and the patient's condition.

Before the test, it is important to inform Dr. Ravi Bhushan of any medications you are taking or any other medical conditions you have, as these can affect the results of the test. It is also important to follow any specific instructions provided by Dr. Ravi Bhushan regarding a physical activity or other restrictions before the test.

Overall, a pacemaker interrogation is a valuable diagnostic test that can help Dr. Ravi Bhushan to ensure that the pacemaker is working properly and to make any necessary adjustments to the device. This test is important to keep track of the pacemaker's performance, battery status and to ensure the patient's pacemaker is working as it should.
