Common Questions and Answers about Pacemaker cells found
pacemaker
when they went in to replace that lead they found the other lead off, they also found a black oily substance on my pacemaker. the pacemaker company was called, they told the dr to replace it free of charge. we have no idea what the substance was. the dr said he had never seen anything like it. we are waiting to hear from the company. since then i have been hospitalized twice, because my heart feels like it is skipping beats. now i have facial and neck swelling.
By the way...I noticed the ??? near the "natural pacemaker" portion of your post. Thought I'd take a minute to help you understand.
The sinus atrial node is a clump of cells in your heart that put out an electrical current that causes the rest of your cells in the atrial center of your heart to contract. The electrical current continues into the ventricular node and causes the bottom of the heart to contract immediately after that.
Hi, am doing some research. please can you explain why an 89yr old with pacemaker kept her 70bpm pulse with a fever of 40 deg.C. Also what were the metabolic implications for her? Many thanks.
The spread of electricity throughout the heart muscle is possible because all heart muscle cells, not just pacemaker cells, are excitable. Usually, the heart muscle cells keep time more slowly than normal pacemaker cells. This allows the pacemaker cells within the SA node to be in control of generating and pacing the heartbeat.
There can be different reasons, but it generally finds a different way around, through normal heart cells. However, this can cause a delay, meaning the right chamber is contracting slower or is delayed compared to the left. This is probably what they are referring to with regards to borderline. Causes could be genetic history, certain infection types, recent heart attack, heart disease. If the cells are damaged, then there is always the option of a pacemaker.

patient is dibetic since 35 years and he has pacemaker from last four years.he had his angiography 4 years back then he had been diagnosed as mild LAD disease and his ejection flow was 40% that time, but he had no treatment but from last three months when he started having dyspnoe he consulted an MD medicine who did his ECHO and found that he has LALV dilated, LVEF 27.8%, LALV clot absent and told the patient that he is having global hipokinesia.
Yes, the condition can infect the heart's natural pacemaker. The heart's "natural" pacemaker is called the sinoatrial (SA) node or sinus node. It's a small mass of specialized cells in the top of the heart's right atrium (upper chamber). It makes the electrical impulses that cause your heart to beat.
Many cardiac muscle cells can contract spontaneously, but the cells in the Pacemaker region are, during fetal development, the fastest-beating ones, and the fastest ones normally dominate the whole show.
However, many of us have independent-minded cardiac cells that can trigger a contraction (a PVC) if they get the opportunity, and opportunity arises when the Pacemaker's rate slows down--as happens when you're cooling off after exercise, or when you're getting sleepy at bedtime.
Gallbladder (15 stones), Heart Ablation (SVT), both knees grade IV OA, carpal tunnel, neck fusion, lumbar fusion, spinal chord stimulator (internal under bone), breast tumor (benign). I also just found out I have liver and kidney inflammation, and multiple thyroid nodules with hypothyroidism. I have multiple fibroid cysts in my breasts, have had 3 colon polyps removed, plantar fibromas, & kidney stones.
If the cells are dead, a cath would not be of any help. If the cells are hibernating due to low blood flow to the area, medication can increase the blood flow to the area....angina with stress and rest normal blood flow.
Your symptoms, if any, would be the issue to correct. If you are having chest pain (angina) with exertion and rest relieves the chest pain that would be stable angina and medication can be effective.
I have had five surgeries, a pacemaker for apparent sick sinus syndrome, pacemaker syndrome which caused an apparent heart attack, three ablations that have wiped out 60 - 70% of my heart cells, pacs, pvcs, blood clots, SVTAC, afib, etc. No meds. work and my blood pressure also goes up and down with incredible fluctuation. Stress exacerbates my symptoms which are all (ears ringing, muscles twitching, dizziness, fatigue, sharp chest pains/againa, etc).
from that blood draw my own stem cells were replicated. 23 Million Stem Cells were injected into my heart muscle and vascular system - via an angiogram. 80% of those 23 million were tagged for my heart. I will be glad to put you in touch with the Heart Clinic, in Florida, that I used. The procedure is not covered by insurance - again because of lack of FDA approval. Testing is being done in the U.S. in Chicago and Texas - might be elsewhere that's the 2 I know.
These were stem cells made from my OWN STEM CELLS not embryonic. So, no chance of rejection, no extra pills to take. There is over an 80% chance of
improvement. My EF was between 12 and 15% before new stem cells. Have not had another EF test yet. I am diabetic(insulin dependent.) I do have a defibrillator and pacemaker. Would be only too happy to share my experiences - they will be on-going!! It is a shame one has to go out of the country to have this procedure done.
I spoke with my dr yesterday and he informed me that my results were sent away for further investigation as the biopsy done here showed A-Typical cells and abnormal cells. So the surgeon informed me that we are not out of the woods yet and that it was a good thing I pressed to have it removed. ( we have A LOT of cancer in my family) So now I need to wait until the end if next week for diagnosis! Freakin g out a it here. How often does A typical cell mean cancer?
Do you have a pacemaker? The best is to check with your doctor or pacemaker technician. I don't know what can it cause the heart functioning abnormality if you have the inverted T waves? Anyone knows?
It also depends if you're a pacemaker dependent or not. I'm not a pacemaker depend. I go well with the equipment which marks "Pacemaker user caution". If I found my heart beats abnormally, then I stop using it and try again after the heart settle.
It's interesting that everyone has irregular beats--but most people simply don't feel them. We sensitive types do.
Perhaps you've read what actually happens during an ectopic beat? If not, here's a simplified rundown:
The 'Pacemaker' in the upper right atrium normally sets the heart rate, but it's important to know that every cardiac cell in the heart is naturally rhythmic and contractile.
hypokinesis can also be the result of stunned cells. Stunned heart cells affected by a heart attack can be revitalized if blood/oxygen is quickly provided within a few hours to the area affected by an acute heart attack.
Akinesis is different from hypokinesis in that the heart cells affected are necrotic (dead). Stem cell therapy may be helpful for that condition.
Five years ago I had hypokinesis of the left ventricle wall and a low EF.
my father had a heart attack in 1984, a pacemaker four years ago andnow is diagnosed with heart failure, is this normal?
Hello, my father (early 60s) is on an ICD. His cardiologist wants to make the heart completely dependent upon the pacemaker, as the medicines my father is on aren't working. Unfortunately, I was unable to sit in on the meeting between my father and the cardiologist.
My question to you is this - do you know the name of the procedure that would fully sever the nerves which incite the heart to beat?
My daughter was diagnosed with a variety of heart problem when she was two months old. She currently has a pacemaker which she only uses when her heart rate goes above 115 bpm. When she has surgery 7 years ago the surgeon lost a surgical needle in the center (av node) area of her heart. Could the needle be the reason she is having heart block? She is ten now.
because the wounded area conducts electricity slow and by the time the impulse has travelled throug the area, the origin spot is able to conduct electricity again (cells are recharged). It is possibly dangerous, and the main reason why PVCs are usually suppressed with medications if someone have an "underlying heart disease" (as mentioned above).
Ventricular tachycardia can also occur without this re-entry phenomenon (ICD I47.
PVCs and PACs occur when heart cells other than the typical pacemaker cells generate an electrical impulse and then a muscle contraction and heart beat. These may occur rarely or in some cases very frequently. Similarly, some people aren't aware of these while other people feel very symptomatic with them.
I found a company in the USA that took your blood here - shipped to Isreael for replication - and then meet the American Doctor in another country to have the stem cells put into my heart. I am talking about my own stem cells replicated - not embryonic. I had 23 Million Stem Cells injected on Nov. 11, 2008. My Ejection Factor has gone from 12% to 30%,,,certainly "not out of the water" but better than 12%.
It is not easy to accept - certainly requires a huge change in lifestyle...
