A member asked:
Would a delay in performing pacemaker implantation cause permanent complications?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why do you need it?: If you're passing out with long pauses in your rhythm, delaying implantation could be lethal. If your symptoms are infrequent and mild, delay is acceptable. It all depends on the indication.
