years of good stability. I had my Aortic Valve replaced 8/2/2024 { TAVR} and back to A. Fib. I am supposed to go for Stent in my Left main coronary on10/8. My cardiologist says I have a Sick Node syndrome which is not responding to my current Meds, may need a [ PACEMAKER .] I read about it but wondering what experience you guys have ?? with this.
May I Donate My Pacemaker To A Vet To Use In A Dog?
I received a regular 2-lead pacemaker a year ago. My heart has gotten weaker and now I need a biventricular pacemaker. I'm waiting on a call to let me know the surgery date. Somewhere I heard that a used pacemaker can't be donated for use in another human but can be used for an animal. If my 1 year old pacemaker can help a dog, I would love that. Has anyone on MyHeartDisease Team ever done that or heard about a case? How do I go about making arrangements to donate this pacemaker?
I agree wonderful news.🥰
How Does A Pacemaker Correct Afib?
I am 70 years old, have had 3 ablation since 2011, multiple cardio aversion to get heart in a normal rhythm. How will a pacemaker correct my issue?
Pacemakers can treat atrial fibrillation (AFib) by correcting abnormal heart rhythms. Here are some key points:
- Function: Pacemakers are generally programmed to function when the heart rate drops… read more
Pacemaker
I had a pacemaker put in about 8 years ago. Then about 5 years ago, I had that pacemaker removed and a defibrillator pacemaker put in its’ place. Am I the only one who didn’t feel any differently when each of my pacemakers were installed? I don’t faint anymore. That is about the only difference. As far as being aware of a pacemaker, I feel nothing. Maybe that is a good thing. Maybe I feel so well, maybe I don’t feel anything.
Has Anyone Had A Leadless Pacemaker Completed And How The Results?
As of now Abbot has no home monitor and I am waiting for one before getting the Leadless Pacemaker. I was told they are working on one.
What Is Your Experience With Getting A Pacemaker
Can A Pacemaker CAUSE Atrial Fibrillation? How Did I Go From Zero To " Moderate To Severe" In One Month??????
Those Who Have Pacemakers.
I Have A Heart Monitor On....if My Beats Per Minute Keep Staying Between 41 And 45, Does That Tell My Dr. That I Need A PACEMAKER?
tell him the rate, he decides not you..... you allow
I'm Concerned About My Pacemaker.
My cardiologist just told me at my 1 year check-up that the pacemaker is pacing 100% of the time. That's not good - is it? Isn't my heart supposed to be beating and just using the pacemaker part of the time? In 2 weeks, I have to get this pacemaker removed and a biventricular pacemaker installed. It will be bigger and have 3 leads instead of 2 leads. Will this work better with my heart? I'm assuming my doctor is doing this to fix the problem.
