Common Questions and Answers about Where are pacemaker cells located
pacemaker
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.

Hello. Welcome to the MedHelp MS Forum. I don't know off hand about the location of lesions in that part of the brain, but I found this:
"The basal ganglia refers to large clusters of nerve cells which are located within the cerebrum and upper parts of the brain stem. These structures help start and stop movement, as well as keep movements smooth and fluid.
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.
t coming from the natural pacemaker which is located in the high atrium. It is normal to have this as long as you are not limited in terms of your physical activity such as climbing stairs, running or playing with your colleagues. If that's the case I would not worry about this at all. On the other hand, if you do notice some limitations, a visit to a cardiologist may not be a bad idea. He would do history and a physical exam and evaluate your heart function with an echocardiogram.
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.
d suggest you frame that question to the manufacturer of the pacemaker. They all are set up to answer questions just like that, I know, as I have a pacer and also work with pacemaker reps as a Peer Navigator at our hospital where I volunteer. This type of question is very common. I'd find out the manufacturer, get the model and serial number and call them.
Best wishes, and also the love you have for him shows. I'll bet he was a real pistol all his life.
Keep us informed.
Have you talked to your doctor about becoming pregnant with your pacemaker being placed where it is? You have to talk to your doctor NOW about it, if you haven't. It could absolutely be a problem, because the uterus will eventually occupy the place where your pacemaker is! If your doctor has okay'd becoming pregnant, then all you can do is keep trying, but if you haven't spoken to him/her yet you need to do it ASAP, and I mean like this week.
My Dad had his done at age 79. A big age difference I know but he was in very poor health at the time. The procedure only took a short time, we waited in a waiting room. They made a small incision, removed the old device (they simply unhook the leads), cleaned out the "pocket" where the old device was located, hooked up the new one and put in a few stitches. They did the programming and he came on home. Still had to keep the arm down for a period of time but it was pretty easy for him.
I have no experience at either golf or using a pacemaker, but as no one has responded I'll offer I associate the electronics/clock implant with being in the upper chest area and I will guess your concern is well founded.
I doubt it would be advised to move the location far from the heart, the locations noted...but I do not know.
Depending on which side the pacemaker is located, and how much rotation and force is exerted by the shoulder on that side. Typically I recommend waiting 6 weeks for the pocket to heal before any activity that involves a lot of shoulder movement. Remember that regardless of the age of the pacemaker you should avoid excessive movement on that side, such as throwing a ball, so you might have to modify your golf swing accordingly.
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.
Check out MaryLL's story on here. It should be posted in her journal. After 15 years of Afib, she was cured by having a thoracic maze procedure. They go in through the ribs and it is performed on a beating heart. She was having episodes every week. She had had 3 ablations before this procedure. It was a long recovery.
Also, Dr. Sirak at Ohio State University does a thoracic maze procedure and lots of people on here have posted that they were cured after the procedure.
Where are you located? I have Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia as well, and I really like my doctor in Md. They're associated with the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore. I've had two catheter ablations so far, and unfortunately had to have a pacemaker implanted as a result of one. However, the docs are always on top of things with me..sometimes to the point where they're annoying! How long ago were you diagnosed?
The problem is the test does not tell you where the cells are from. That is why they have to do all this testing. Their assumption is, since he has had bladder cancer, the cells are from somewhere in the urinary tract system. This could lead to a whole lot of testing. As with the recent news questioning the value of PSA testing, it is something for him to discuss with the doctor.
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.
