How deep under the skin is a heart device implanted?
This will depend based on the type of implant. Submuscular implants place the heart device system below the muscle in your chest. Subdermal implants, the more popular option, place it just under the skin. Leadless pacemakers, however, are implanted directly into the heart through a minimally invasive procedure.
Talk to a doctor for further information on implant procedures.
