Medtronic ADDRO1

Really appreciate this PM club, It really solved a lot of my silly questions. I recently goes for another Dr , he told me that i suppose to place PM Modal DDDR01, Instead of modal ADDR01. What is this two differences, Oh my gods, i just have my pm last 2 years and now he say that is more suitable. I really sad when i heard this Dr explanation and i really dont know what to do now, My next appointment with the 1 Dr is next months, I wonder how to face the Dr.
Did anybody found up and change the pm within few years?
Did the types of lead can be used back when upgrade to more sophisticated one? I M lost!

Is it possible you misunderstood yur Dr?

I went to Medtronic for a look and they do not list a DDDRO1. If you ask for that number you will be referred to ADDRO1. Based on that I think your biggest problem is your Dr wants more of your money.

Pacemaker are sometimes changed in a few years, but usually only if the pacemaker is defective, or if the heart develops a new problem. The leads used with your present pacemaker would be okay for the new one because they are the same pacemakers.

If it were me I would first, contact Medtronic with your question, then I would get me another doctor.
