Pacemaker/ICD | Interventional Cardiology Group
Mine is a three wire, pacemakes for the arrhythmia - ie keeps my venticles working together, not sure if thats ongoing or does when needed, no-one seemed to know at LGI today, and defibrillates if the arrhythmia causes spasm, as it did six months ago - it will shock me, reboot me heart and hurt like hell!
As I only had the one episode, I think I will be ok as long as look after myself, which I am doing, but it sometimes is hard at bedtime if you feel a 'flutter' and wonder if the next one is the big kick.....
They connect to the device by wireless, well scary, and can control my heart rate with it, obviously only from the machine next to me but!! From there they can look at voltage, p-waves etc, clever stuff...
It's been a very stressful six months, living with this gadget, but I am thankful for it and the staff and Leeds General infirmary, who are wonderful (forget Jimmy Savile) and while I don't think my event was life threatening, I am protected for any future events that's might be.
PM me if you want more info - have pics and stuff!

Plenty of loonies on the road who should not be allowed to drive. You will fit right in.
Try having a few drinks to steady your nerves first.

Time to don the driving gloves, flat cap and fire up the old Rover 2000TC, bought it off Mrs Walker, The Rover's Return Inn, 1976....
