4 weeks post implant checkup

First pacer clinic appt today. Nurse says" Oh, you have the new Biotronik Eluna!" Think I am one of the first at this practice. All the parameters were fine. Had them crank up the base rate from 50 to 60 because I was still getting a few fast double beats followed by a pause. Thought is the timing was a bit slow and my heart was trying to compensate. Doc said everything looked good. No restrictions. See you in six months. The whole process has gone pretty smoothly. I am VERY glad I had the pacer put in to fix SND. I feel better and am sleeping better. May take a few days for me to assess the changes due to raising base rate to 60. Can't wait to get out jogging again.

Sounds like you are doing quite well. Every so often I do read where the pacer has been set to 50, but the norm is 60 it seems. Mind you, I'm sure your docs did that for a reason. And isn't being able to sleep almost like winning the lottery - LOL.

All the best,
