I was a teen when I got my PM

I’m not a teen now, but I was when I got my pacemaker.  That was over 20 years ago.  I’m on pacemaker #3 now and am still using the original leads!

Pacemaker #3

Barnet38, I'm just curious about the evolution of these little marvels in our chests (God, I love mine!).

Have your PMs gotten successively smaller over twenty years? Did they all use the same "pocket" under your skin?

And have your EPs remarked that micro-PMs delivered by catheter will eventually obsolete our watch-sized ones along with their leads?

Thanks!

I was once a teen with mine

there are teens in this forum! I got my pacemaker at the age of 12 so I know what its like to be a teen with a pacemaker. If you need any advice or anything just message me. 

You know you're wired when...

You run like the bionic man.
