Pacemaker Health Feed

this is very obvious in case of pace maker patients, that why you need do exercise slowly start not to harsh even walk slowly. but you have to do a physical exercise anyhow. but in a very slow manner.

A pacemaker is a small device that's placed in the chest or abdomen to help control abnormal heart rhythms.
I think we need to have more detailed discussion about your medical history and current medical condition before I conclude my answer.

1. What is a Pacemaker?

The pacemaker is a small battery-operated device that can be used to keep the heart beating when the normal electrical conduction of heart becomes diseased. It consists of one pulse generator which contains the battery as well as software and is implanted under muscle or skin under the shoulder. And wires which are connected to the heart and act like electrical wires for conduction.

A left ventricular assist device is an electromechanical device used in cases of advanced heart failure. In later stages of heart failure when the heart is weakened and no longer able to pump the necessary amount of blood, a left ventricular assist device can be surgically implanted to assist the heart s functions.

A left ventricular assist device is often used as a short term solution and is different from a pacemaker, which is a long term cardiac assist device. The cases in which a le...more

If you had to choose between living a life of restrictions and a life of freedom, you'd choose the latter right? This is a decision most patients have to take when diagnosed with heart disease. However, thanks to medical advancements such as the pacemaker, they get to choose a life of freedom too, just like you.

In simple terms, a pacemaker is a tiny device helps people with irregular heart rhythms to quite effectively, maintain the 'pace' of their normal lifestyle. It is best suited fo...more

Mostvimportant clue will be obtained from his ECG. You must mention whatvthe ecg report says. This seems to me as episodes of bradycardia and pulsecrate 40 is possible in complete heart block. When such episode happens, you may ask him to fo very light exercises lije moving his arm abovrvthevhead and bring it down. Repeat a fewvtimes and see if his pulse rate increases.in case of complete heart block, there will be no increament of pulse rate with exercise. Waiting on this patient may be risky, ...more

Pacemakers are usually designed to do several things. For the most part, the pacemaker should not need replaced ever (except the battery which will need to be changed about every 10 years). This is because the function they serve will never need to be adjusted. They are not like a cell phone in which a newer version will come out with more features.

Arrhythmia is a disorder which is characterized by improper and irregular heartbeats; be it too slow or too fast. This problem occurs when the electrical impulses that are used to regulate your heartbeat don t work in the correct manner. Your heart may beat irregularly, too slow or too fast.

Symptoms
Although this disorder does not yield many symptoms, a few noticeable symptoms of arrhythmia are slow heartbeat, or a racing heartbeat, chest pain, breathing difficulties and dizziness....more
