I have a low heart rate and have to have surgery is pacemaker ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe/maybe not: Pacemakers have a setting for a minimum heart rate. The setting is unique to each individual but commonly is around 50-60. If your heart rate is <50, your pacemaker may not be functioning correctly. Pacemakers should be checked, at least over the phone, every 3 months. Have you had yours checked recently?
