Pacemakers for Atrial Fibrillation: How Common Are They?

But,that's what a pacemaker is suppose to do.

I had my first ablation 3 months ago. I'm doing good so far. I was diagnosed with A-fib about 7 years ago. My heart was shocked back in beat when I was first diagnosed with A-fib

I had one that lasted 3 days. My then Dr tried to treat me with meds for two years and tried ablation,and then opted for a pacer.

I've had a pacemaker about 12 years. Also had the Watchman put in last Oct.

Not me!

I got pacemaker at 72. I have afib and getting ready for 2nd ablation.

I believe pacemakers are probably better for bradycardia than they are for tachycardia because usually there are other things you can do that are less invasive with tachycardia but how do you get your heartbeat to speed up without a pacemaker is beyond me.

I do

Well good luck on getting yours

sure, it's the size of a large vitamin

I am waiting for a date to have mine put in. My heart rate is usually in the 40’s or has dropped as low as 35 according to my doctor but only does that at night. Also, my heart has stopped a couple of times for 5 and six seconds. I feel pretty good most of the time but I need to get this regulated so I will quit worrying and will have more energy
