Hey Dave, he used the same clinic you did! From Rolling Stone online:
After years of heart complications, Arnold Schwarzenegger has undergone surgery to receive a pacemaker. The 76-year-old actor detailed his decision to undergo the medical procedure in a recent newsletter, updating readers on his swift recovery process and revisiting the timeline of his previous open-heart surgeries.
“Last Monday, I had surgery to become a little bit more of a...

Should a patient get a lift chair? How long should a patient not drive or go back to an office job?

Long shot, does anyone know the max rate on the Aveir? I poked around on the Abbott site but didn't see it. I was suprised to see Buzbuz's comment that the Micra only goes to 130. We've been considering leadless for my next one, most likely Aveir, but 130 will not do.

Someone posted a message here a week or so ago with a question regarding a lot of calcium his doctor was pulling-out of the pocket with his fingers during his device replacement. I responded that I never heard of such a thing and thought maybe it was a problem with his device that caused it, but that I really had no clue. I looked for that post so I could update my response, but it is gone. So hopefully he will see this.
So guess what? I am laying on the table during my 1st procedu...

I am overwhelmed by all the well wishes, thoughts and prayers that I received from all of the kind people here! I am filled with gratitude. Thank you! It made me feel so much better after a difficult experience. For all those that don’t want to read the following long book that I wrote, I understand and apologize. The bottom line is; I am doing fine and expect to continue feeling good into the future. However, after 3 days in the hospital I only have a new simple dual chamber...

Maybe it's just me. But the "app" I've always used and never had issues with - all of a sudden won't work without a considerable amount of tinkering with. This is just on my iPhone.
Haven't tried my computer. Will do that tomorrow.
Any one else experience this.
Curiosity Question to all

I'm curious about how others "got" their device. Was it something that was planned in advance as part of an overall tx outline or was it something that was required on an urgent basis secondary to a health crisis?
I'm in the former category as I've been working towards my CRT-P for about a year now.

I have occassional a fib as indicated on my annual pacemaker check. One cardiologist suggested using a device like Kardia Mobile to check in order to avoid constant use of blood thinners. Now I am hearing that these devices are not recommended for people with pacemakers.
I sometimes get good readings from my Kardia mobile and sometimes do not. Does anyone use these devices to check for a fib? Is there interference between the device and my pacemaker? Are th...

I'm going to universal studios Florida for the first time since getting my pacemaker. I contacted Boston scientific and they told me I can't ride roller coasters or anything that go against gravity. I'm good physically to ride anything I just was curious if there's any other types of rides that would affect my device such a motion simulators. Thanks!

Just to be clear from my last post, absolutely none of you drain my battery. I simply meant situations where I am out and about. In person situations. You see, I worked about 10 years in this area, 5 years as a cashier in a local grocery store, and the other 5 years as a reporter and photographer for our small town weekly newspaper. In a community with about 1200 people, I got to know pretty much everyone...and they know me. So every time I go to the store, people stop me and talk to me, whic...

Since i did not want to hijack another's query. Thought i would put my comment of this separtely. To me asking for help is a sign of strength. We all know how hard that is to do. I have found in recent years when asking make sure you are clear about what it is or where the help is needed.
This past Nov. - March i had to hire a lawn service to pick up the fallen leaves. Was unable to do becuase of torn tendon, arthritis in base of thumb and finger...

I know many of you have encouraged me to get some therapy for my healing process, of which I have taken under advisement. However, I wish to clarify some reasons as to why I'm really not keen on the idea of seeing a shrink. You'd have to really know me to fully understand my reasoning, but I'll try and explain myself so you can at least follow along.
First: I'm extremely introverted. Yes, I worked for most of my life, usually in some form of customer service, which only...

In fact after the final "tweaks" of my pacemaker programming at the one year check up it is working so well that I forget I have it.
