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.
