Welcome to Pacemaker Club
Whether you are a patient, caregiver or healthcare professional, you are in the right place. Founded in 2000 by a veteran pacemaker recipient, the Pacemaker Club is a free online community for recipients of pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices. With more than 30,000 members worldwide, we are a source of information, education, communication, collaboration, comfort, and support for patients and their loved ones.
Empowering the Pacemaker Community
Powered by
ForHearts Worldwide
In 2023, the Pacemaker Club was acquired by 40-year-old international non-profit, ForHearts Worldwide. This alliance underscores ForHearts’ full commitment to build a stronger, more sustainable network of resources, medical expertise and global outreach to better serve the pacemaker community. The overall goal is to improve the quality of life and healthcare outcomes for those navigating life with a cardiovascular implantable device.
Why Join the
Pacemaker Club?
Joining the Pacemaker Club provides individuals with cardiac pacemakers, ICDs, or CRT devices an opportunity to connect with others facing similar experiences, share information, ask questions, receive support, access resources, and feel less alone while navigating the life changes associated with having a heart device. The Pacemaker Club creates community where members can find understanding and encouragement from peers going through the same journey.

Community support
For many, the Pacemaker Club is the one place they can go to communicate, ask questions, seek answers, share stories, and find support from others going through similar experiences. While receiving a pacemaker can be life-saving, it can also be life-changing leaving patients with many questions and concerns. The Pacemaker Club is here to remind everyone they are part of a caring community, and that they are not alone.
