Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a pacemaker or ICD battery last?
Modern pacemaker batteries typically last 8 to 15 years, while ICD batteries last 5 to 7 years on average, depending on how frequently the device delivers therapy. Battery status is monitored during routine check-ups, and when the battery is low, only the pulse generator is replaced in a minor surgical procedure -- the existing leads are usually kept in place.
What lifestyle restrictions apply after pacemaker or ICD implantation?
Most patients resume normal activities within a few weeks. You should avoid strong magnetic fields (such as MRI machines, unless your device is MRI-compatible) and keep cell phones and electronic devices at least 15 cm from the implant site. Contact sports and activities that risk direct impact to the chest should be avoided. Air travel, driving, and moderate exercise are generally safe after the initial recovery period. Your electrophysiologist will provide personalized guidance.
Can I travel through airport security with a pacemaker or ICD?
Yes, you can travel safely with a pacemaker or ICD. Carry your device identification card at all times and present it to security personnel. Walk through metal detectors at a normal pace, as brief exposure is generally safe. However, avoid prolonged contact with handheld metal detectors over the implant site, and request a manual pat-down if available. The device will not be damaged by airport security equipment.
How long do I need to stay abroad after pacemaker or ICD implantation?
Most patients can plan for a total stay of 5 to 7 days abroad. This includes preoperative consultations and tests (1 day), the implantation procedure (1 day with overnight hospital stay), device programming and testing (1 to 2 days), and a post-procedure check before travel clearance (1 to 2 days). The procedure is minimally invasive, so recovery is relatively quick compared to open-heart surgery.
How will my pacemaker or ICD be monitored after I return home?
Modern pacemakers and ICDs can be monitored remotely through wireless home transmitters that send device data to your cardiologist automatically. You will also need in-person device checks every 6 to 12 months with a local electrophysiologist. The implanting hospital will provide a complete technical report and programming details to facilitate seamless handover to your home physician, ensuring uninterrupted follow-up care.
