WILLEMSTAD - The Curaçao Medical Center (CMC) has, according to the hospital, successfully performed the Conduction System Pacing (CSP) procedure, making it the first hospital in the Caribbean region to do so. This was reported by CMC on Facebook.
CSP is an advanced pacing technique involving the implantation of permanent pacing leads along various sites of the cardiac conduction system. Known as cardiac pacing, this procedure involves delivering electrical impulses to regulate the heart rhythm.
Cardiologist Olivier Witte and his team have already carried out three of these innovative procedures last week. The CSP technique offers significant benefits for individuals with heart issues, with one of the key outcomes being the restoration of a normal heart rate.
For patients dealing with irregular heartbeats or bradycardia (slow heart rate), CSP ensures that the heart beats at a healthy and consistent pace, contributing to an improved overall heart function.
