Pacemaker configuration

Common Questions and Answers about Pacemaker configuration

Avatar n tn If for some reason the sinus node fails to act in the normal cardiac pacemaker, the other atrial signals can converge and may take over, and the P wave may have a different configuration. This condition would be the underlying cause for the slow heart rate and abnormal relationship and configuration with P wave and QRS complex. The relationship between P waves and QRT complexes helps distinguish various cardiac arrhythmias.
Avatar f tn Hey, take a look at our health pages - they're in the upper right hand corner of this page. What your MRI shows is a number of lesions in areas that are suggestive of MS. The 'ring-like' configuration of the lesion in the right external capsule is an indication that this is a old lesion that has gotten new enhancement. While you're being evaluated for MS, see if they'll do an MRI of your thoracic spine.
Avatar n tn is a French phrase referring to abnormal configuration on an EKG. It is a heart rhythm disorder that is extremely rapiid and as a result the heart cannot pump effectively and can cause instant death. For reference the configuration shown on an EKG strip is a long QT and a syndrome (LQTS) and is an inherited disorder of the heart’s electrical system. Sorry for your loss! Hope the information helps you put the matter into a perspective. Thanks for your question and sharing.
Avatar n tn Example first report says ventricles are of normal in size and configuration and the second report says abnormal configuration of venticles. Is this of major concern?? As far as MS is concerned, I have had a spinal tap and EEG...Both normal. I just had evoked potentials done on Jan 21st and I'm still waiting for results.
703031 tn?1398963307 Clusters of follicular cells are seen in a hemorrhagic background that includes abundant thin colloid. No papillary configuration or nuclear atypia are seen. The cell block sections also show follicular cells and colloid. Comments: Follow-up as clinically indicated. I was supposed to have a repeat FNA done a few months ago but ran into problems with insurance/doctor, etc. So, I guess my question is...why did or would I need a 2nd FNA? Any questions I should ask the new doc today?
Avatar n tn , early seroconversion specimens) are below the detection limit of the test * infection with a variant of the virus that is less detectable by the Clearview assay configuration * HIV antibodies in the patient that do not react with specific antigens utilized in the assay configuration - in exceptional cases this may lead to observation of false negative results * specimens handling conditions which result in loss of HIV antibody multivalency. My questions are 1.
Avatar n tn There are many different blood vessel configurations such as dominant left side or dominant right side or combonation of both. Sometimes the congental configuration causes problems as it may not provide sufficient blood flow to cerain areas of the heart. The configuration that is described can not be commented on without specific knowledge of the heart's functionality as the discription may be related to a medcial problem or not?
675084 tn?1233087505 good you ask me.. my pacemaker is set to 80beats and I'm 100% depend on my pacemaker.. i have a Medtronic this my 2nd. pacemaker... my first Medtronic pacemaker i had it for 18 yrs. until the doctor turn it down than it didn't work good.. had to get a new one.. in Dec. it will be 2yrs. i had my pacemaker check last week and i find out the doctor that put my pacemaker in didn't set my pacemaker for life depend.. Good news is now my pacemaker is set for it not to be ever turn off..
Avatar f tn The pacemaker itself should not be a deterent from having an ablation. I've had a pacemaker for 6 years (because of an ablation actually), and then had another ablation about a year ago. Unfortunately, the ablations don't work for me, but I have IST, not SVT so hopefully they're more effective for that.
Avatar f tn My pacemaker battery had been dead for over a year and a half, and I just now was told that the pacemaker will have to be removed because it can damage the heart if it doesn't have a battery. Is this true? Incidentally, my pacemaker had not been activated for several years, as it was set for the minimum and didn't ever have to kick in.
Avatar f tn I have had numerous surgeries including the Fontan in 1987 with a revision of the Fontan in 2006, where at that time I also had a Medtronic Enrhythym Pacemaker install. 3 weeks ago I had a Pacemaker replacement due to the fact my battery on my Pacemaker was running low. The new Pacemaker installed is a Medtronic Adapta. Since the new pacemaker my Heart beat has been all over the place. My 1st Enrhythym was paced at 80 bpm, and it pretty much stayed like that for 5.
Avatar n tn i had 3 open heart surgery and on my 2nd. pacemaker.. my first pacemaker last me for 18yrs. and just got my 2nd. pacemaker Dec.2006.. my pacemaker was implanted in my upper chest on the right side.. only thing i hate the surgery doctor told me he would use the same cut as the other pacemaker but when i woke up he cut me in another spot.. well i can say.. ask your doctor his he using the same cut as the first pacemaker was in..
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn Hi, I'm sorry about your mom. Its my understanding that they don't "stop" the pacemaker, Nature takes it course regardless of the pacemaker. I went through this with my mom.
Avatar n tn My normal pulse rate with out pacemaker is 54 ppm. My dual lead pacemaker is set at 70 ppm, some people with pacemakers have the pacemaker rate set below their normal heart Resting rate Ex. normal rate 50 ppm Pacemaker set at 45 ppm. What determines the optimun pulse rate for the pacemaker? My Doctor is willing to set it at any rrrrrrrrrrate I choose. I am 86 years old in good physical shape,play tennis do nautilis and swim several times a week.
Avatar n tn I don't believe a pacemaker is used to control AFib. Perhaps your father has other heart problems. The most common use for a pacemaker is to keep the heart from beating too slow, or stopping. Some times a PM is used when the heart electrical system has to be totally shut down, in which case there would be no AFib or other arrhythmia, but this is not done to my knowledge, to control AFib.
Avatar f tn Pacemaker batteries will not run out unexpectedly. When a battery is running low, the elective replacement indicator (ERI) is activated. Physicians can detect this activation during a routine office visit. In addition, the battery status and the general functioning of the pacemaker can be tested over the telephone. This is generally done every one to two months.
Avatar m tn You may be able to feel the pacemaker under your skin as the pacemaker is typically placed just below the skin. This area will be sore after surgery, but as time passes the pacemaker should become less noticeable.
Avatar m tn my mother had a pacemaker implant ans was told that if she is ok in the next three weeks it will be removed. is this possible? To remove the pacemaker?? so why was it necessary to do this in the first place?
Avatar n tn Hello doctor, I need your help, I used to love the self testing paper, wound met configuration of the buffer, I want to know the HIV virus can survive in the buffer?
Avatar m tn The aorta valve leaflets have 3 cusps normally, and some times the leaflets are fused together resulting in a deformed 2 cuspid configuration. If the doctor is unconcerned, then it can be assumed there is current issue.
Avatar f tn The AC joint is in normal configuration. Os acromiale is noted with minimal associated osseous edema.
Avatar f tn I just had a dual lead pacemaker put in 3 days ago to control accelerated junctional rhythm. The same night of surgery I had ajr of 135 it had overridden my pacemaker. I continue to have junctional rhythms and very rarely is my heart rate,at 85 which is what pacemaker is set at. I can't walk from one room to another without heart racing and out of breath. I feel horrible.. Will this get better as maybe my heart is irritated? I feel worse than. Before pacemaker.
Avatar f tn I also understand a pacemaker would treat AFib only if your had a full shut-down and are are operating under full-time pacemaker timing. I could be wrong on this point, I am not a pacemaker patient myself. What has you doctor said about your symptoms?
