First PM checkup

I recently had my first checkup.I obtained a 12 page copy of Parameters/Final Report. I was told that the PM was being used at a rate of 43%.
Could anyone help me understand and make heads or tails of the important items in this report?
Thanks

PM Checkup

Can you go through your print out and pick out something of particular interest. There are so many things on those printouts that mean nothing that to go through and pick out one at random that may be of interest to you is really a long shot. If you ask a specific question I'm sure some of the members that know something about pacemakers can answer you.

Ask Dr

I hope this does not come across the wrong way, but frankly, you should ask your Dr to go though the report line by line. I did that with my cardiologist by scheduling my appointment at the end of the day. Sure, I had to wait due to delays, but well worth it to understand this device in my body.

You know you're wired when...

You know the difference between hardware and software.

The pacer systems are really very reliable. The main problem is the incompetent programming of them. If yours is working well for you, get on with life and enjoy it. You probably are more at risk of problems with a valve job than the pacer.
