Can you spare 10 minutes of your time?
An ICD is like having your own defibrillator inside your body so if your heart should go into a specific arrhythmia the ICD will shock it back into rhythm; whereas a
pacemaker
monitors and adjusts the rhythm and speed of your heart; if it is too fast or too slow it will adjust accordingly.

The
pacemaker
was your
pacemaker
, except duo I believe, but the wiring was not only a new type of wiring called HIS pace, bundling, but it was the way he had to do it for me. Evidently my own wiring had nothing normal about it in both upper and lower chambers among other problems.

Second ablation
I had my second ablation on Monday and whilst in recovery I was advised that it had failed and I would be getting a
pacemaker
in the next few weeks. I also had 6 cardioversions so am looking very sunburned across my chest. What do they mean when it failed?

An Eventful January Update - Pacemaker Delayed
Had the replacement
Pacemaker
Pre-op this morning, INR was at 4.4, when the Consultant wants it at 2.5 so not a good start to proceedings. Missing a daaily dose would bring it down, but, it was never likely to be by enough.

Flutters and burping
after my
pacemaker
fitted I am feeling flutters by the bottom lead followed by burping, I’ve been back to the
pacemaker
clinic and they’ve said the
pacemaker
is fine… but the flutters are still happening and constantly burping. Anyone else have this issue.

Grade 2 LV Diastolic Dysfunction
I already have an aortic root aneurysm, Atrial Fibrillation and recently had a
Pacemaker
fitted and was born with valve disease and had replacement BAV. So, now I feel like this is just another nail in my coffin when I see the words Heart Failure and read there is no cure for HF. Very scary!

Any ideas folks?
I have a
pacemaker
which is set at 60. My heart rate since yesterday is 60 and a few time I’ve felt my
pacemaker
kick in. What causes this to happen? Never been low before. I had OHS in January for a new mitral valve.

Why it’s a good idea to use your Kardia etc regularly
Dr Google tells me that the gold standard treatment is a
pacemaker
like CDreamer’s but I very much doubt that will be offered. So, don’t be obsessive but regular checks are good…..

~AV Node ablation update~
There are other readings too that are not normal, but GP believes the
pacemaker
( Feb 2024) was enough for body to cope with and this AV Node ablation has been too much too soon - I juggle a few other health issues alongside which added to the mix.

Flecainide and SVTs/Ectopic Burden
Hello Everyone I wrote a Post here last March as we were worried about the choices being offered to my Husband for the management of his PAF (anticoagulant,
pacemaker
, ablation).

amiodarone
Now, “fully loaded” with Amiodarone, my heart rate wants to drop even further but maintained at a steady 60bpm by my twin lead
pacemaker
, implanted in 2014. My problem is constant shortage of breath, slightest exertion creases me! Comments please.

Pacemaker safety alert.
I've heard that the
pacemaker
I had fitted nearly 4 years ago has received a safety alert on them and now I need a box/battery operation to replace it.Just wondering how others have recovered from a box change?
