Well some say yes some say no , but I say yes

true,

When reporting a pacemaker battery change, you should link the appropriate procedure code cpt code 33212 or 33213 to 996.01 and You should also report 33233 also with 996.01.

If your pacemakers are not functioning correctly, then a doctor will often use a defibrillator to shock them back into normal usage. Your pacemakers send electrical pulses to your cardiac muscles signaling them when it is time to contract. When these pacemakers (cells) are not functioning correctly, then the doctor will use the defibrillator to change their electrical currents, this way the pacemaker cells are fixed.

The pacemaker is located on the outside of the right atrium.

Yes the sinoatrial node is also called the pacemaker under all circumstances

Because TENS may interfere with pacemaker function, patients with pacemakers should consult a cardiologist before using a TENS unit

I don't know whether they expire, but the battery runs out after 3 to 7 years.

Yes, the device has reached the end of its lifespan, and the electronic components are scrapped and recycled. It is not an article that may be reused, as in a sense it has been contaminated. who would buy a life-support device that was on ( inside) a dead body! Like a water-logged life preserver, nyet? it is not funny. during the embalming process the devices are removed- and eventually recycled,.

The disadvantages is When sudden changes in heartbeat do take place in persons with normal hearts, they often experience symptoms as an aching in the heart area or a feeling of weakness.
Yes the pace maker can be replaced but also the permanent infixation of an artificial pacemaker can restore a reliable heartbeat.
The recovery time is normally shorter than that for the open procedure.
With the cost it depends but you should have an insurance to go with it.

It is not safe: An asthmatic person has a base condition which impairs him in terms of respiratory function. High altitude air has a lower oxygen concentration which will ask for an increase in respiratory function. Low blood O2 will cause the heart to increase its BPM to compensate for the lack of O2, delivering blood into tissues in a faster rate, so that increment in BPM could produce some kind of alterations (not totally certain). Curious to say that an asthmatic person exposed to higher altitude air has a lesser chance of giving in to an asthmatic attack due to the fact that air at higher altitude has less particles that can trigger an asthmatic attack.

Your heart is made up of different chambers. The heart is made up of muscle tissue. When the chambers expand, they pull in blood and when they contract they push blood out. This is what causes the blood to circulate through the body, get oxygenated, etc. The pumping sound is the heartbeat. What causes the heart muscles to expand and contract? Very tiny electrical signals are sent from the brain and delivered to the heart via the nerves. Various medical conditions cause the nerves to deliver these electrical signals at wrong times. This causes the heart to stutter; it attempts to push blood out before it has fully pulled it in from the other side. No proper circulation to organs and the brains causes blackouts and eventual death. For such cases, doctors implant a small device called a pacemaker into the nervous system which deliver the properly timed electrical signals to the heart and makes it beat in a regular manner.

The occurrence is more frequent in the elderly with over 85% of implants received by those over age 65.

It keeps your heart at a steady pace.

Pacemakers and defibrillators provide electrical impulses to the heart, which can return the heart beat to a normal rhythm.
