Pacemaker Management

Ensuring Optimal Heart Rhythm

Pacemaker management involves the monitoring, programming, and maintenance of implanted pacemakers to ensure they function optimally and meet each patient’s unique cardiac needs. Regular evaluations help assess battery life, lead function, and device settings to maintain a stable heart rhythm and prevent complications. At Lone Star Cardiovascular Institute, we provide comprehensive pacemaker management, including in-office and remote monitoring, to ensure your device continues to support a healthy and active life.

Dr James has been implanting pacemakers for over 23 years and has been trained to implant the latest in lead-less pacemakers.
