Pacemaker geometry
Common Questions and Answers about Pacemaker geometry
pacemaker
Interpretation
-Normal left ventricular geometry with adequate wall motion with preserved left ventricular systolic function
-Left atrium,right atrium and right ventricle are normal in size.
-Normal tricuspid valve,pulmonic valve,mitral valve and aortic valve.
-No thrombus nor pericardial effusion noted.
Doppler Study
-Pulmonary artery pressure 16
-No abnormal color flow across the valves

m trying to understand the geometry of the two repairs. I visualize the inguinal canal as a cylindrical passage, starting inside my abdomen, passing downward through the muscles of my lower abdominal wall, and ending at the top of my scrotum. Can someone explain where the mesh was placed in each of my surgeries? My first thoughts were that it was over the open ends, but now I'm not so sure.
When the reverse geometry contact lens is discontinued, the cornea will start to revert back closer to the original curvature. In other words it is not a permanant procedure. If you get any useful effect at all, the effect will begin to wear off as soon as you stop the process. That sounds pretty reversible to me. My question is - can it cause some unhealthy permanant changes in corneal curvature? I really can't recommend otho-k.
Or does it have something to do with the geometry of the eye, making it more difficult to hit the target with a Crystalens implant as opposed to a monocular lens?
Normal left ventricular geometry (left ventricular mass index = 71 g/m2; relative wall thickness = 0.
if the start of this post is a serious question, you should go and get yourself checked out in case its pre-term labour, they may have a chance of stopping it as you dont want to have your baby at 7 months, if its possible for them to stop it, the earlier you go the better, backache in labour is generally due to a postierior lying baby and not all labours will have backache
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
my wires/leads stick out under my skin a little more then rest of my pacemaker, but i dont know if this is common since my pacemaker is placed on my right side of chest. shoulder pain and burning sensation with pacemaker kind of work as a team, is there anything that i'm doing wrong? i'm not tugging or pulling on anything just sitting around.
