Avatar f tn Ok, I know the cardiologist says its ok, he's done hundreds and the pacemaker rep will be there and they will turn off the pacemaker and then turn it back on later, but I am still soooooo nervous. They are only going to do a 1.5 with contrast....... Should I relax? I've scanned the internet and so many articles are so old or contradict others Anyone have this done yet?

390388 tn?1279636213 Thank you for answering my question. You seem to really understand the heart. I was quite shocked by your comment; but, I feel very honored to have it answered by you. I have been putting down my medical test results in my "Journal". My Doctor never told me that anything was wrong on any of my EKGs. I found out by requesting my medical reports after being frustrated really bad in February of this year. I have uploaded the pictures of them to view.
Avatar f tn I waited an hour before going to the ER. I have great bp...usually 125/something low...ha ha...and normal bad cholesterol of 130. I'd never seen a cardiologist whereas my older siblings all had. Turns out via an angiogram that I had two arteries blocked. The left descending was blocked at 70% and the left diagonal was blocked at 90%. I received 2 stents. Now they are testing me for the Lipo Protein A gene( which my dad had and my sister has) and I will finally have a stress test next week.
Avatar f tn Yes, I am not, but there are many people that have HF without HA. There are many medical conditions that produce it. Going back to normal life it depends very much of what is the reason of your HF and your personal circumstances (age, sex, race (yes black skin is bad for HF))... However, if go get a good cardiologist specialized in HF, and follow strictly his indications, you can have many years ahead.
Avatar f tn Finally had my little girl only 11 days late ha 8 pound 3 and she was born at 13.
Avatar m tn :-) So Sorry, but I can't resist!!! My eldest son is a bit of a goof ball at times. He'll do anything to get me to laugh. Anyway, he has equally goofy taste in TV shows, no blood gore or other nonsense, just plain goofy. So he calls me into the room just now and says "Daddy, you have to watch this..." I looked and seen the show and said No, I don't. He said "Yes, you DO! This is about something you get all the time." So I watched for him...
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.
