First dedicated cardiac care unit was started under the able guidance of Dr Rajeev Agarwal. First Pacemaker Implant was started under the guidance of Dr D K Agarwal.

The first pacemaker implant was performed 1996 by Dr. D K Agarwal at the Priti Hospital, Prayagraj. The first patient, reported was Mr Arne Larsson, a 43-year-old man who had suffered from cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms) for many years. Larsson received a total of 26 pacemaker implants over the course of his lifetime and lived to be 86 years old.

Pacemakers are small devices that are implanted in the chest to help regulate the heartbeat. They use electrical signals to stimulate the heart muscle and help it beat at a normal rate. Pacemakers are used to treat a variety of heart conditions, including bradycardia (a slow heart rate) and tachycardia (a fast heart rate). They are typically used in people who have heart rhythm problems that cannot be controlled with medication or other treatments.
