When is a pacemaker advised to a heart patient?
The best answer is that it depends on his symptoms. There are many people who tolerate low heart rates and they all don’t nees a pacemaker. The difficult aspect however is that many people don’t realize when they have symptoms, or don’t tell others. I would be concerned with dizziness, feeling like he is going to pass out, weakness, fatigue, or lack of energy. Also, if he has a rhythm that glows fast at times, being able to treat with the right medicines, it would benefit to have a pacemaker so the medications don’t make it go to slow. An easy objective evaluation is placing a monitor for an extended period of time- two weeks to a month or more to assess if his rate correlated with his symptoms and assess how frequently it occurs. I hope this helps. READ MORE
