The pm never affects the strength of your heart. All it does is provide a tiny pulse that mimics what our heart would do on its own if it was behaving itself. Our heart muscle responds to it by beating. By changing the pace do you mean turn it down to a slower rate? How that would affect you depends on why you have it and why they'd want to make the change.
