I had the operation in November and it's set up to act to keep the heart beat over 60 per minute. The pace maker is briefly contacted with a monitor unit around 3 AM every night. I think it uses a cell phone signal to report. The measurement gets the whole day's heart pattern in a short time.
An interesting fact is that 64% of the time the pace maker is signaling the heart to beat 60 per minute.
It used to be that after walking 0.2 miles I needed to stop and rest a minute or two to continue the walk. I think is was a question of energy in the blood flow. Now I walk 0.8 miles with no need for a break. The Sciatica I have now is a walking problem.
The serious problem of the heart beet was the effect on the brain. It was over 2 years before the pace maker operation and my brain is badly damaged.
