My one week checkup for my Biotronik Evia shows that its pacing my top chamber 50% of the time.
That's higher than we expected being as we put it due to persistent vasovagal syncope
Does anyone else with syncope know what percentage you are paced? I wonder what is "normal range" for syncope patients.

A pacemaker completely solved my problem. In fact, it was implanted just 7 weeks ago and I ran a race today, placed first in my age group.
89%

I was diagnosed with Neurocardiogenic Syncope although I only did the full faint once but always felt like I was going to faint.
I pace 89% in the upper chamber and less than 1% in the ventricle.
However, when I 1st received my pacemaker back in 2004 I was only pacing 27% and felt horrible. Over the years with going back & forth to the Pacemaker Clinic they finally got my settings adjusted to where I feel "normal" but my % went way up.
As long as I feel okay, the % is just a number.
