Hello everyone! I have been lurking around this board for a while now, at least since my implantation of a Guidant dual chamber pacemaker in late April 2008. I have had minimal problems, but the usual 'annoyances' of how the device is situated and how the leads were placed. These usually just include discomfort and swelling. My question for you all is if you would be willing to participate in a survey about your current device and your opinion on the new leadless devices that they are currently developing. I am conducting a research proposal and project on the likelihood of using these new devices in the near future and the amount of education that is available. There is a survey liability form included and no answers will be disclosed without direct consent from the individual participating. I am currently in the works of revising the survey and just wanted to get an estimate of those willing to participate. Thank you so much! Below is a copy of the liability waiver.

Survey/Interview Liability Waiver
This survey/interview is part of a final project for English 272—Technical Communication taught by Professor Ron Tulley at the University of Findlay. The responses in this survey/interview will be used to gather information about regular cardiac pacemakers and the options for leadless pacemakers. Information obtained in these surveys will be used to produce educational materials for cardiac patients, friends and family members. Your responses will not be published without your consent or knowledge. I will present the informational material on or about April 12, 2010. If you have any questions or comments please email me at amargraf@findlay.edu or you can reach Professor Tulley at rtulley@findlay.edu or (419) 434-4608.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
