Hello

In theory, it shouldn't make any difference especially as you have been diagnosed and treated.

I don't think a pacemaker or Afib is going to be a problem (I could be wrong). 

It's the ugly side of insurance is that an acute, deadly, disease will cost the insurance less then a chronic disease that will need a lot of care, like MS.  They're not going to underwrite someone with MS but probably will for someone with a pacemaker.

The right way to look at insurance is a bet that you want the insurance company to win.

So, my advice is to go about your daily routine and forget that you have a pacemaker implanted in your body.
