Exercise Physiology

I found this book through a google search and chapter 20 of this book focuses on pacemakers and ICD's and how the different settings, response systems affects the type of exercise you do and the intensity. It is a textbook that you can purchase, but if you can get to a library that carries it you can copy the pages to educate yourself on the challenges that may be involved with exercising with a pacemaker and may arm you with the info you need to present to your doctor to tweak your settings.

Yesterday I moved to a new place in my mind and realized how bad I felt 'before' and the difference my pacemaker has made.
