pacemaker linux heartbeat

But a distro called Ubuntu is reducing the difficulty of simple PC users using Linux. I used Linux exclusively for 3 or 4 months at a certain point on my laptop, and it was probably the best months I ever had on my laptop. But then I had to go back to Windows because everyone just wants to support the corporate devil known as Microsoft, and the programs I needed to use didn't have Linux support or the ability to emulate under Linux user the WINE windows capability layer.

Ok, so where's the other vote? I am currently using win XP and switching over to Linux Unbuntu - Hardy Heron dist. It's so easy and simple and no viruses or extra **** to deal with like window$. Plus it's free!!! Bummer about PuppyLove989... Vi$ta has been such a bunch of crapware that M$ is coming out with a brand new OS in win7 instead of doing upgrades for it... ha ha... going backwards actually to the winXP base system and just making it look like vi$ta really... ha ha...

A fast resting heartbeat (>100 in adults) is called tachycardia. There can be a lot of causes for it. If it needs to be treated, there are several possibilities for solving it (medications, cardiac ablation, ICD, ....) A pacemaker is used for speeding up the heart rate, so in bradycardia situations (too slow heart rate). This is not gonna help you. An implantable defibrillator (ICD) can in some situations help against a too fast heartbeat.

m wondering if because of my fitness level my slow heartbeat is really not a problem (a year ago my heartbeat was 55-60). I also wonder if increasing my atenolol from 25 to 50 mg is aggrevating the problem.

He then had me wear a holter monitor for 24 hours which I just found out ( from a cardiologist that my doctor set me up with ) showed 252 pauses in my heartbeat . I am scheduled for a stress test and an echocardiogram next, however the cardiologist is saying that I need a pacemaker. This seems very extreme to me since I have absolutely no symtoms. My question is " is this the best solution?

I am really puzzled as to how these two can be side by side, ie why a drug to slow the heartbeat and a pacemaker to speed it up? My surgery doctor has just reduced this to 7.5mg (to see what happens).

Ever since I had a pacemaker implanted, my heat goes in to ineffective overdrive after walking only a couple of steps. (120 +) On the otherhand, even strenuous workouts on strength machines results in only small (70 to 87) increases in pulse rate not accompanied by any discomfort. Under those conditions. my heart seems to pump normal.

I was laying on my couch when I had two hard heartbeat. Like my heart was having a problem pumping? Is this a sign of something I should go get checked out?

This allows the pacemaker cells within the SA node to be in control of generating and pacing the heartbeat. But, if a particular group of cells in areas remote from the SA node become extra- or hyper-excitable they can take over as the pacemaker for one or several beats, or for a longer term. You might think of the heart's cells as a schoolyard full of young boys playing soccer. Some are inherently quick and fast and are always on top of the game, while others usually play a little slower.

Her old pacemaker kept her heartbeat at a constant 70 beats; the new one varies from a low of 60 up to a maximum of 120 (it has not gone above 92). Her heartbeat is averaging about 80-82 beats during the day. She is wheelchair bound, quite sedentary, has debetes and has middle stage dementia. She has begun sleeping a lot during the day even after a good night's sleep. Could the pacemaker be making her heart beat too fast and causing the fatigue?

Hi, I am 58 years old and had a pacemaker placement for a slow heartbeat. I go to my Doctors on a regular basis and just had a nuclear stress test and blood work. All were normal. I have been expericing some skipped heartbeat for about six months, and I have pain in the left side of my neck. When this happens, it seems to also make me feel tired. My questions are would my pacemaker pick up these events?

To add to what already has been said a pacemaker is needed when the system's natural pacemaker (sinus node in the right atrium) may be irregular. Your medication helps control high blood pressure and probably would be prescribed without a pacemaker.

A friend of mine had it done, but I had the sneaky suspicion - and still do - that they screwed up his ablation and now the pacemaker has to provide the heartbeat completely and not only when needed.

no. 84 is not high, it's only generally if it gets to over 100 at rest that tachycardia is diagnosed. As long as his heart rate is stable and there are no rhythm problems, then there is certainly no requirement for a pacemaker.

My wife had a mitral vakve repair 3 years ago as well as a maze to correct AF; heartbeat was in teh upper 90's so she then had a cardioversion to regularise heartbeat and this worked fine, bringing it down to the mid-60's. Earlier this year her specialist replaced her calcium channel blocker with an ARB. Shortly afterwards she experienced a heart attack; a subsequent ECG indicated a Taku-tsubo syndrome as well as Troponin positivity.

d be more than happy to help out anyone who would like to take the plunge with Linux. The neat thing is, you can run Linux off of a CD or a flash drive and keep your current computer just the way it is... more on that later if you are interested. Just send me an email or take a gander at the Linux.org site and search for Ubuntu. It's the latest greatest desk top environment for home users. It's simple and uncomplicated and that's not just me saying so from a techy point of view.

The problem is is that the new Pacemaker is not like that at all! My heartbeat goes from 56 to 93, back to 71 then 86, and has gone a high as 100. It is all over the place. The Enrythym never went under 80. This Adapta is not doing that. Since the new Pacemaker I am weak, dizzy, have had low oxygen levels, and chest pain. Can anyone answer me? I feel that they have put in the wrong Pacemaker.

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.

My doctor says my EKG shows regular PVC's and slow pulse. He says I have a "regularly irregular heartbeat". He is considering using Beta Blockers to control the PVC's. I thought Beta Blockers were used for Tachycardia - not Bradycardia. I am confused. He has also mentioned a pacemaker. Can you shed any light on the subject? Thanks very much.

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.

Dear all, my premature son nearing two years old is diagnosed with heart block from the 24hrs holter scan result, however the doctor is saiding the it is a 2 to 1 and occasionally 3 to 1 sinus block and the result is 'not that bad'.. he said that the pacemaker solution can be put on hold for the mean time but close monitoring and check up again in 3 mths time will still need to be done... Very grateful if anyone can give any guidances/experiences on this condition...

what can be done if you are not a candiate for bypass or a pacemaker because your veins are too small and your heart is only pumping at 20 % This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/239210'>PUMPING RATE AT 31%</a>.

hi i also have heart block stage 2 with a pacemaker fitted i was diagnosed 2 years ago at the age of 32 i also found out last month that i have svt too .
