I was told that my ST. Jude is titanium. You can always phone St. Jude to find out if there is a component with the others in it, the internet has listings for them.Do you mind if I ask why this is important?

"The Aescula(TM) 1055K left-heart lead is a stylet-driven silicone insulated lead with a titanium nitride (TiN) coated platinum-iridium electrode."

This is from ST. Jude News release.

At age 20, I will be getting a pacemaker in few weeks along with an SA node ablation. This opportunity may change a five year prognosis into a normal life span! I look forward to being a little old lady with a wicked cane!
