Abstract Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) also known as chronic diseases, which includes cardiovascular diseases (like heart attacks and stroke), cancers, chronic respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructed pulmonary disease and asthma) and diabetes. NCDs result in rapid deaths as seen in certain diseases like autoimmune diseases, heart diseases, stroke, cancers, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, cataracts, and others. Cardiovascular diseases are one of the major incidence of non-communicable diseases and leading causes of deaths in India. The heart is endowed with a specialized system for generating rhythmic electrical impulses and for conducting these impulses rapidly throughout the heart to cause contraction of the heart muscle. When this system functions normally, the atria contract about one-sixth of a second ahead of the ventricles. This orderly electrical activity must precede contraction to provide adequate cardiac output for perfusion of all body organs and tissues. Aim and objective: To assess the effectiveness of pacemaker care protocol on knowledge and skill regarding care of client undergoing pacemaker implantation among nurses at selected hospital. Methodology: A quasi-experimental non equivalent control group design was chosen to conduct the study among 60 Nurses, who were selected using purposive sampling technique. Immediately after pretest assessment, intervention was given in experimental group and hospital routine was carried out in control group. After seven days post test was collected in both the groups. The comparison of post test level of knowledge between experimental and control group revealed that t of 12.002, was statistically significant at p<0.001level.The comparison of the post test level of skill, revealed t value of 9.577, which was highly statistically significant at p< 0.001level.
