Pacemakers

if the shock crosses the equipment then yes. it must also be a large shock

Yes. You should qualify for SSD (Social Security Disability) if it prevents you from working, or SSI (Social Security Income) if it limits your working ability to the point it brings you below the standard cost of living. Call the Social Security office near you or the 800 number and set up and appointment. Benifits are retroactive back to the day you call. Your cardiologist can give the SSA (Social Security Administration) the needed info. On SSD or SSI you automatically qualify for medicaid with will cover all required test. Good luck.

would decrease the heart rate, because the pacemaker cells would generate fewer action potentials per minute

A pacemaker is nothing but a specialized mass of muscle tissue present in the wall of the heart.

It initiates the heart beat.

The lead or electrode could perforate the heart or cause scarring or other damage. The electrodes can also cause involuntary stimulation of nearby skeletal muscles.

It means that a functioning pacemaker is in place.

Modern Pacemakers are not made out of Titanium i can tell you that right now -_-".

Depending on the configuration of the pacemaker and the clinical needs of the patient, as many as three leads may be used in a pacing system.

A pacemaker delivers an electric stimulus to the heart.

A pacemaker is connected to the heart through one or more leads, which are thin, insulated wires. These leads are inserted through a vein and threaded into the heart, typically into the right atrium and/or ventricle. Once in place, the leads are attached to the pacemaker device, which is usually implanted under the skin, often in the chest area, to deliver electrical impulses that help regulate the heart's rhythm. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and can be done using minimally invasive techniques.

depolarizes to its threshold potential before other pacemakers in the heart

wandering baseline

The sinoatrial node is known as the pacemaker of the heart.

Generally, daily lifestyle is not affected too much. Certain considerations should still be taken into account, though. Those with pace makers should steer clear of full contact sports and activities involving intense magnetic fields. Otherwise, other activities and sports are fine.

death

I would go to the Social Security office in person. If his condition is serious enough to prevent him from working, he should be able to get disability.

Sinoatrial node, or SA node.

Yes there absolutely is. To put it in it's most basic terms, the heart has electricity running through it. When you get an EKG at the cardiologists office, those lines are measures of the electrical activity of the heart. The pacemaker fires an electrical impulse when it detects that heart did not fire an electrical impulse on its own. By adding electricity via electrical muscle stimulation, you will run the very high risk of confusing the pacemaker.

Just don't do it.

No. There is no pain associated with artificial pacemakers after the incision has healed.

If you do not want something mehanic inside of you, and if you like to live on your own with your own body without something inside of you. I would personally refused pacemaker even if that would mean death for me. God created me on the way he did and I want it to stay like that.

yes

its not
