Is 90 too old for a pacemaker?

No, 90 is not too old for a pacemaker. Age alone is not a contraindication for the procedure; rather, the decision depends on the individual's overall health, the severity of their heart condition, and potential benefits versus risks. Many elderly patients can experience improved quality of life and better heart function with a pacemaker. Ultimately, the decision should be made by a healthcare professional in consultation with the patient and their family.
