Common Questions and Answers about Pacemaker cells kidney
pacemaker
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.
It ranges in the 42-48 at rest during the day. It can go up regular with exercise, I am 55 I had kidney cancer 4 years ago and have one kidney could the slow heart rate be from anything about my kidney?
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,
My Dad has a history of diabetes,chronic (but stable) kidney disease because of diabetes. The kidney disease does effect his ability to produce red blood cells so he is watched closely for his anemia with H&H counts. He has twice in the last year had mysterious stomach/intestinal bleeding which causes the anemia to get worse quickly. Each time being hospitalized and transfused.
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.
A pacemaker is assurance against any arrhythmia that could cause cardiac arrest. It won't help any of the current heart condtions. Sometimes, as one ages there is some calicification of the heart valves that cause some leakage, and really not considered medically significant unless the leakage is moderate to severe, then there may be some shortness of breath, chest pains, etc.
Thanks for sharing and if you have any further questions you are welcome to respond. Take care.
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.
A week later I was released with 7 medications and a LifeVest with plans to get a pacemaker after the 1st of the year. The heart failure team and cardiology team want to try a pacemaker before looking for a new heart. I pray the pacemaker works wonder. Anyone else with an EF below 15% and have been able to make improvements to increase your EF? If so, what has worked for you?

t beat regularly and often a pacemaker can correct the problem. A pacemaker is a small device that sends electrical impulses to the heart muscle to maintain a suitable heart rate and rhythm. A pacemaker may also be used to treat fainting spells (syncope), congestive heart failure, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. A pacemaker implant is more for assurance of good, normal heartbeat than a remedy for heart failure.
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.
However, after the surgery she has still been kept on pacemaker as cardiologists said her heart rate is still on 48-55 per minute (which is quite slow). The cardiologists have suggested that if the heart rate does not return back to normal a permanent pacemaker maybe required. Can anyone please suggest whether to wait for the heart beat to be back to normal or go for the pacemaker.
Thanks in advance for the help.
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.
s mom had the identical conditions and they both told me that putting in a pacemaker 15 years ago cured her and completely changed her life. Now she even runs, etc. when before she could barely walk.
The cardiologists and pulmonologist both say her heart is very "hard". If a pacemaker could help, I can't imagine why none of them have suggested that?? She's afraid to ask them because she feels they might be offended, as if she's questioning them.
My mother has kidney disease and has started dialysis. She had a pace maker placed 2 weeks ago and ever since she has broken out in a whole body rash and no one can say what it is or where it came from. Her skin looks like the skin of a chicken, very fine small bumps all over that are extremely itchy from the inside out. We have tried everything over the counter and natural and all be it the outside is clearing up peeling and drying out the itching on the inside is still there.
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 had a KUB x-ray done, no kidney stones. Which I am confused because I had a kidney stone in my left kidney that I know I didn't pass, So what happened to it?
I am still waiting on the second cytology report my urologist ordered. Not sure why it is taking so long, it has been over a week.
This seems like a very difficult situation for you and your family.
The best way to begin addressing this question is to ask your cardiologist whether your mother is "pacemaker dependent" or not. Pacemaker dependent means that the heart is reliant on the pacemaker, and without it, the heart cannot pump fast enough to meet the demands of the body. (There are others who need the pacemaker infrequently as a "back-up", for the rare times when the heart rate slows down).
A patient developed kidney infection and high blood pressure. The kidney infection was diagnosed and treated through IV, the high blood pressure failed to normalize after kidney treatment, the kidney were still passing some proteins in the urine after treatment. His legs started swelling and he was diagnosed with heart problems as indicated below.
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.
Then over the next year I proceeded to have extreme bradychardia (slowing of my heart) and had an emergency pacemaker implant. During this procedure they found an aortic root aneurysm that appears stable, but unrelated to anything else. Then I had a blood clot in my arm. Then a couple months later a very large kidney stone that needed to be removed surgically. Then about 6 months ago I had a pulmonary embolism, then another huge kidney stone.
