Pacemakers are typically fitted under the skin of the chest, just below the collarbone. The procedure involves inserting leads (wires) through a vein into the heart to help regulate its rhythm. In some cases, pacemakers can also be placed in the abdomen. The implantation is usually performed in a hospital by a cardiologist or a specialized surgeon.
