You have suffered a great injustice, and I'm sorry for your experience. I do not know what the black substance was, or what the results of exposure may be. However, the skipped beats may be caused simply by confusion in the heart muscle itself.
Your heart cells are all capable of contracting and causing the heart to beat. Usually, this job is segregated to specific cells that most people refer to as the "natrual pacemaker.
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.
My father, 89, recently had a pacemaker inserted due to bradycardia. His PMD and internal medicine specialist started him on Coumadin afterwards. Since my step-mother had been hospitalized a week before with GI bleeding due to long term (20 years) effects of Coumadin, my father is reluctant to keep on with the medication now he's at home.
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.
5 years ago she started having weird bouts of uncontrollable diarrhea. After several episodes she saw her Doctor, and he referred to her a GI doctor. The GI doctor started with different techniques and medicines and all. To make a long story short he diagnosed her with gastroparesis and put in a pacemaker to help regulate her stomach.
After a year he finally got it dialed in correctly and we thought we had it... Wrong!
Looking for any information for corrective surgery or colon pacemaker for adults who were born with an imperforate anus.

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.
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.
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 am 58 yrs old woman. Five years ago I had a sudden onset of acute ischemic colitis. No cardiac issues were present at that time. Approx. 6 mos. later I suffered an episode of syncope followed by a second bout of ischemia; at that time a heart arrythmia was diagnosed as well as a PFO. The PFO has not been closed. Neither my gastroenterologist nor my cardiologist can say with any certainty that the bouts of ischemia are directly related to the cardiac issue.
My understanding is that it takes 2 - 4 hours from the time food enters your stomach, until it leaves. I recently had an upper endoscopy (for other reasons) I hadn't eaten in 12 hours and the GI dr. said there was a lot of food in my stomach. So, I have gastroparesis and would like to talk to a knowledgable dr about a pacemaker for my stomach. The GI dr prescribed Reglan to help the stomach digest. I really don't think it is doing anything, although it has only been around a week.
s very worst is based in part on the fact that there are several sites in the stomach where the main pacemaker cells to trigger stomach contractions are found. In traditional chinese medicine, the deeper organs can be accessed by more peripheral local points on the arms, legs, and body - some of those points connect up with the stomach. So it's very worth a try. There are also chinese herbs that could be tried.
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.
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.
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.
If you have had negative biopsies but GI can see Barrets during Endoscopy, it might just mean that the cells that were taken during the biopsies were not Barrets cells as then it is possible for Pathologists to miss this.
The protocol for Barrets surveillance (no dysplasia) is every 3 years. Only once there are signs of dysplasia (cancer stages) then you need to go for annual scopes and then it increases to 6 monthly if there are activity.
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.
I am 62 yrs. old .I had Gall Bladder surgery in 2009 and was still very sick and in severe pain. I then found out i had Gastro Paresis. I am on lots of medications but none seem to help. I live with severe pain and can hardly eat anything at all.I only take percocet10 because my Pain dr. doesn't agree that i need anything stronger. My gastrol dr. would like me to be on a regular stronger pain patch.
