heart rate

Hi, thanks Maryanne and Smitty for your questions and answers. Maryanne, they said my "upper rate" is set at 130. I'm not sure what that means.
Thanks, Janet

upper rate

Upper limit means that even if your atria goes above that number- say to 150- the pacer will only make the ventricle keep up as high as 130. This number is a common setting and one of the first ones to be reset in otherwise active patients.

You know you're wired when...

Your signature looks like an EKG.
