pacemaker education

I heard about a pacemaker that they can insert to stimulate the colon, is this something that will be available in the near future? Could these disorders be caused by my back surgery? Thanks.

Does an EP have to do an EP study and ablation or can they just look at the monitor readings and put a pacemaker in? Who does the pacemaker? An EP or cardiac surgeon? I hate to go through an EP study if it really isn't necessary. I'm very tired of feeling so bad and want to cut to the chase without waiting much longer. I'd much rather have a pacemaker than mess around with ablations that may or may not work.

Part of the problems we are having in this country, I believe, stems from the formal education we have, or don't have. Basically the public education system we have has not changed over the last century, so what changes would you make if you could and if added cost is involved how would you pay for it.

Today there is very little distinction between the two regarding treatment, and the education is the same accept the DO has an additional 300 to 500 additional study regarding the musculoskeletal system. Like M.D.s, osteopathic physicians are licensed at the state level. Osteopathic physicians who wish to specialize may become "board certified" (in much the same manner as M.D.

Enroll your child in special education. It is free in the USA. The role of special education is to provide exceptional educational, behavioral, therapeutic and vocational programs to individuals with special needs, to give them the necessary skills to learn to work and live successfully with dignity and independence. It helps people with special needs to live a life of dignity and self-worth.

So I have been seeing so many girls get bashed for asking dumb sex questions. The only problem is, maybe those questions aren't dumb to them. Maybe they haven't had the same access to sexual education as the rest of us. Maybe their parents didn't want them to learn so what might sound naive to us could be them trying to learn and make smart decisions. I get it, it definitely is annoying seeing these posts in this particular forum but there are several options left to us mommys. 1.

what sex education should i give to my 8 year old daughter ? how should i describe to her?

can somebody explain special education? My grandson has ADHD, mild depressive disorder, SID and emotional problems. He was removed at age 3 from his parents due to neglect by the parents who were heroin addicts. At 15 months he tested positive for being exposed to opium, benzo.... basically everything except marijuana through a hair folicle test. The mother was using drugs and breast feeding.

also you can now have an MRI with a pacemaker. I had one done in Febuary. The pacemaker representative has to be there to turn off the pacemaker (to keep the settings from being messed up) and a cardiologist usually is there in case he might be needed. Then afterwards, they turn the pacemaker back on and recheck the settings. Very good write up though!

Just to update; I have a 12year old son, he has pacemaker inserted for 3rd degree heart block, he also has AVNRT and has had a successful ablation last xmas. So no more heart meds. Thank goodness as they were really bad on him. He has been diagnosed with POTS for the last 8 months. He has tried the increase of salt and water, raised his bed and attempts to get more excerise. But still has daily problems. His heart surgeon has suggested Fludrocortisone.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

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.
