Pacemakers
An artificial pacemaker is a medical device that regulates the heartbeat via electrical impulses that are delivered by electrodes, which contracts the muscles of the heart. Pacemakers are given to people who have a slow natural pacemaker or those who have a cardiac obstruction blocking natural electrical impulses.

What will appear on ECG if a patient has pacemaker?
Depending on the reasons the pacemaker is being used in the first place. Patient may be having ectopic beats? irregular rhythms? due to heart conduction blocks or muscular damage. Expect a regular sinus rhythm with an occasional ectopic wave.
Why sa node called as natural pacemaker?
The sinoatrial (SA) node is called the natural pacemaker of the heart because it generates electrical impulses that initiate each heartbeat. Located in the right atrium, the SA node has specialized cells that can spontaneously depolarize, setting the rhythm for the entire heart. These impulses spread through the heart's conduction system, coordinating contraction and ensuring an efficient pumping action. Thus, it regulates heart rate and maintains a consistent rhythm under normal physiological conditions.
Does having a pacemaker make you uninsurable for long-term care insurance?
Preexisting conditions are health problems you had when you became insured. Insurance companies may require that a period of time pass before the policy pays for care related to these conditions. For example, a company may exclude coverage of preexisting conditions for six months. This means that if you need long term care within six months of the policy's issue date for that condition, you may be denied benefits. Companies do not generally exclude coverage for preexisting conditions for more than six months.
I don't know if that really answers your question. Maybe someone else can elaborate specifically on your situation with a pacemaker.
A pacemaker does not ordinarily disqualify you for LTCi. What LTC underwriters are primarily looking for are conditions that would make you a higher risk of needing extended care. Different companies have different underwriting requirements. Find an agent that your comfortable with and give it a shot. Worse thing that can happen is that you get declined and have to try somewhere else. You'll get any preliminary premium returned if your are declined.
Also, LTC policies generally do not have a pre-existing condition clause. You will either be approved or not. For some conditions if you ARE declined you may re-apply after a designated period of recovery time.
