pacemaker longevity

Hi Grateful Heart, they did not tell me what make I got, but when I went to hospital for checks on my old pacemaker, I noticed boxs with St Jude on them, so maybe thats the model.I should be receiving my pacemaker ID card soon, so all the info should be on that.Thanks for your reply.

Hi Grateful Heart, I have just received my pacemaker id card, apparently my new pacemaker is a Medtronic Adapta type DDDR.

I imagine the Delta was bigger and heavier than your new PM. Do you notice a difference in your chest?

Hi Grateful Heart, yes my Delta pacemaker was big
I went for a little walk yesterday, but it still feels lile the first one sore and heavy, but cant complain, its only been a week, and I am nearly 29 years older from having the first one implanted.

You know you're wired when...

You get your device tuned-up for hot dates.
