What sort of implant and why was it fitted ?
I assumed with fainting and a device it was probably a pm but without much information to go on it's difficult to know, I'll keep out of it !
Thank you for this
It could be a pacemaker or a loop recorder or an ICD. Surely the first thing you need to do is find out exactly what type of implant you have. Look at the paperwork or/and ask your cardiologist or GP. Then you can find out exactly what it does.
Hi Tigger. What is the implant called on your discharge letter? You need to go to a&e if you are still blacking out.
