Should I need warfarin after fitting of pacemaker. No warfarin used before this procedure. Only sympton before pacemaked was a slightly irreegular heartbeat.

After surgery, depending on placement of the device, your shoulder will be in pain. There might be some numbness from the local anaesthesia. You also shouldn't life your arm past your shoulder but you can still use your hand and partially your arm

due to contraction of the diaphragm indirectly as the electrical impulse spreads from the heart to the diaphragm.

The DC current used to operate a hand held massager should be safe for use for people with a pacemaker. It is always best though to check with your cardiologist and / or the manufacturer of your particular pacemaker.

Cleveland Clinic, in cleveland. i would have to agree with the above! Check them out. They do amazing work. just google them and do some research. Call them even explain it to them, they will be willing to help with anything! Cleveland Clinic would be the place. At 14 years old I had open heart surgery. I was given only a 20% chance. I had a very very rare heart disease. I am now 47 years old. I flat lined twice. They monitored my health for 20 years. Three other family members have died from the same disease. All 3 family members including my father had open heart surgery at different hospitals. If you need more info email to mfund310@yahoo.com.

Religious views on pacemakers vary among different faiths. Generally, most major religions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, support the use of medical technology like pacemakers, viewing them as a means to preserve life and improve health. However, some beliefs may emphasize divine will or the natural course of life, leading to differing opinions on the extent to which medical interventions should be used. Ultimately, individual interpretations and the specific circumstances often play a significant role in how adherents of each faith approach the use of such medical devices.

A pacemaker will disqualify one from meeting the physical requirements to be a member of a law enforcement officer.

"I'm not sure who has lived the longest with a pacemaker but my mother would be a candidate...she has lived with the help of a pacemaker for over 32 years."

Hello. My wife Linda is on pacemaker #13. She got her first one in early 1971 at age 20. She is now 60. In January it will be 40 years with pacemakers for her. I get my FIRST one next week. Lloyd

Hi, I got my first pacemaker at age 10 in 1963. I've been told by several doctors that I have the title of the longest surviving person in the world with a pacemaker.

They Are A Special Group Of Nerve Cells. Nerve Signals From The Brain Control The Pacemaker, Making It Go Faster Or Slower When Required.

Specialist cells in the heart which have autorhythmicity.

Atrial paced
