MURRAY, KY –Muray-Calloway County Hospital is proud to announce the availability of pacemaker procedures through our team at Murray Cardiology Associates, expanding access to advanced cardiac care close to home.

 

Pacemakers are small, implantable devices designed to help regulate abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). For patients experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, fainting, or slow heart rates, pacemaker implantation can significantly improve quality of life and reduce the risk of serious complications.

 

Through Murray Cardiology Associates, patients now have access to comprehensive evaluation, implantation, and follow-up care without the need to travel outside the region. Procedures are performed by Dr. Homayuni and Dr. Lehmkuhler using advanced technology in a hospital setting that prioritizes safety, comfort, and individualized care. Dr. Homayuni specializes in the implantation of leadless pacemakers, whereas Dr. Lehmkuhler specializes in the implantation of leadless, single-chamber, dual-chamber, and biventricular pacemakers which treat conditions such as bradycardia, heart failure, or heart block.

 

“Our goal is to ensure patients in our community have access to high-quality cardiovascular services right here at home,” said Dr. Lehmkuhler. “Offering pacemaker procedures locally allows patients to receive timely treatment and ongoing monitoring from a trusted care team.”

 

Pacemaker services include:

• Evaluation and diagnosis of heart rhythm disorders
• Permanent pacemaker implantation
• Device checks and programming
• Long-term follow-up and management

 

Heart disease remains a leading cause of death in the United States, and access to specialized cardiac services plays a critical role in improving outcomes. By expanding electrophysiology-related procedures, Murray-Calloway County Hospital continues its commitment to advancing heart care for the region.
