Dr Bharathesh at Meitra United Heart Centre (MUHC) in Kasaragod has reached a remarkable mile stone by successfully implanting 1st leadless dual chamber AVEIR DR pacemaker in Kasaragod in an 86-year-old patient, one of the eldest persons in India to receive this advanced device.
The world’s first dual-chamber AVEIR DR leadless (wireless) pacemaker was unveiled in October 2025. Within a month, Meitra became the first in Kasaragod, Kannur, Dakshina Karnataka and the third centre in Kerala to perform this advanced procedure.
The achievement introduces the newest heart therapies to the area, and highlights the centre’s growing reputation as a leader in modern cardiac care in North Kerala.
