May I Donate My Pacemaker To A Vet To Use In A Dog?

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Reynoldsburg, OH

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?

Pacemaker

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Grand Blanc, MI

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.

Lewis, I did a little reading on this and it seems that you probably had AFIB before and just did not know it. Your pacemaker monitors your heart all the time and this may be what is going on and that… read more

I'm Concerned About My Pacemaker.

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Reynoldsburg, OH

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.

@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member Please do. I hope you are not worrying about the procedure. If you are, remember, we are here for you. Hugs🤗
