A permanent pacemaker is typically required for conditions such as severe bradycardia, where the heart beats too slowly, or advanced heart block, which disrupts the normal electrical conduction pathways in the heart. These conditions can lead to inadequate blood flow and symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, or fainting. A pacemaker helps regulate the heart's rhythm and maintain an appropriate heart rate. Other indications may include certain types of cardiomyopathy or heart failure where pacing therapy is deemed beneficial.
