[quote=Anonymous]Just talked with my relative with heart disease and pacemaker. I learned that pacemakers constantly send signals to the host showing activity. Also learned that should any abnormal pacing of heart occur, then the pacemaker will send a shock to the person, letting them know that something is wrong. Also, the host/doctors office will contact the person and ask them to come in to check things out. Pacemakers wear down and need recharging. This relative takes prescribed meds for his heart and visits doctor for leg and heart rate checkups at least 2-3 times a year. Unsure if any more invasive heart scans are taken, but I’ve been reading in recent health mags that there are several more advanced tests that can be done on the heart to assess health a lot more clearly. All in all, I think what I said earlier is probably right. Gene probably wasn’t getting this level of care. But he survived to 95, so that is something.[/quote]
