3 wires

Having 3 wires means it is a biventricular in sync pacemaker. This means it controls and syncs 3 chambers of the heart to make them work together. It is the type that I have. It is normally used in patients with CHF. It may or may not have an ICD, mine does.

You know you're wired when...

Your kids call you Cyborg.

I have had my pacer since 2005. At first it ruled my life. It took some time to calm down and make the mental adjustment. I had trouble sleeping and I worried a lot about pulling wires. Now I just live my life as I wish.
