Pacemaker and
defibrillator check-ups

Modern follow-up care for your heart health

Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are used to treat certain cardiac arrhythmias. 

Regular check-ups and fine-tuning of the device settings are essential for your safety and quality of life.

At the Cardiology Centre Munich-Pasing, we offer modern pacemaker and defibrillator check-ups – to make sure your device is working reliably and your treatment is optimally tailored to you.

Modern cardiology is not just about implanting a device – structured, precise follow-up care is just as important.

Why are regular check-ups important?

Check-ups ensure that pacemakers and defibrillators are functioning correctly. Regular check-ups – typically every six months – ensure that any malfunction is picked up promptly.

The check-up covers, among other things:

Do you also offer advice on having a pacemaker or ICD implanted?

Yes. We advise patients in detail when implanting or removing such a device is being considered.

Such a decision often raises many questions. In our practice, we first carefully assess whether it is medically necessary, based on your symptoms, medical history and existing findings. Among other things, we answer the following questions:

  • Is the implantation or removal of a pacemaker or ICD really necessary?
  • What benefits can be expected?
  • Are there alternative treatment options?
  • Which device is right for me?
  • How does the implant affect everyday life, work, sport and travel?

Frequently asked questions about pacemakers and defibrillators at the Cardiology Centre Munich-Pasing

Yes. Many patients want an independent assessment before a procedure. We review the underlying diagnosis, the current guideline recommendations and the choice of device, and advise you comprehensively on benefits, risks and possible alternatives.

Yes. Many patients receive long-term care with us after implantation. We carry out regular pacemaker and ICD checks, assess the stored data and are always on hand for any questions or problems.

During follow-up, we read your device’s data using a special programmer. Among other things, we check the battery status, lead function, stored arrhythmias and the current settings. The examination is painless and usually takes only a few minutes.

Regular checks ensure that the device is working properly, the battery is sufficient and the programming is optimal. Depending on the device and individual situation, check-ups every 3 to 12 months are usually recommended. Our follow-up care is structured and in line with current guidelines.

Please make an appointment promptly if you develop new symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, fainting or shortness of breath. The device should also be checked promptly after an ICD shock. Our team will be happy to arrange an appointment at short notice.
