getting a new pacemaker

about a week ago I heard the alarm that tells me the battery in my device is low enough to get replaced. It looks like I will hear that alarm every night at 8pm until 9-22 when I get it replaced. I will probably get a new lead because one was "on...

My mom is getting the biventricular pacemaker and icd tomorrow at Emory in Atlanta. I'll let you know how it goes. She is 78 years old. I think it will make her feel a lot better once she gets over the surgery.

My mom is getting a pacemaker/icd. I am not glad she has to get this, but I am glad I can help her with this and let her know what it is all about. This is what I want to do. I want to help others and sort of mentor those who are going through...
I need surgery again

I went in for a 6 month check up after my fusion surgery L 3-4-5 last Wednesday. I was having a good bit of pain(about a 4) and I had started limping(waddeling as my husband says) again. None the less, I was still surprised when my surgeon said I...
recent check

Just thought I would share a little. I went in for a pacemaker/icd check on Wednesday. It went really well. The pacemaker visit was the positive note in my doctor's visits on Wed. I do have the recalled leads in my device. I was told that mine...
MUGA

What is a MUGA? My mom is going to have one Friday. After her heart cath today, they said her EF is 35% not 20%. This is too much of a descripancy. So, they are doing this MUGA. I didn't have one of these tests and do not know what it involves....

What do you all know about the effect of hormones on arrhythmias? I am 51 years old and my hormones are all over the place. I don't take any kind of hormone replacement and am trying to let nature take its course. I have been off of amiodarone...
Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Hi,I got together the information on my type of heart disease. Getting this disease was such a shock. I was in my prime. My children were graduating high school and going to college and I was doing well in my profession. My husband was a "pain"...
calling all pacemaker people

Calling all of those living today with the comfort of knowing that they are protected by their pacemaker of ICD. How is it going???I am doing fine and forget that I have it sometimes. Maybe we should do like we have decided to do on the heart...
pacemaker transmission

I sent in a transmission for my pacemaker today. I think it is interesting that yesterday I was at my 6 month check up with my cardiologist. They asked me if I needed a pacemaker check. I said I was supposed to send in a transmission the next day...
Pants fit funny

I know this might sound weird, but I have noticed lately that my pants are fitting funny. They are sort of pulling over to the side and not centered. I am constantly pulling back around to the center. I am thinking I am not lined up the same...
Out patient fusion

I just saw on the nightly news about outpatient spinal fusion. Has anyone had this done? Evidently it can only be done right on the bottom two vertebrae. The recovery is easier because they don't cut a bunch of muscles and nerves. It takes about...
