A member asked:
What is the effect of a pacemaker after aortic valve replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pacemaker and AVR: After an aortic valve replacement the pacemaker works the same way to keep the heart from going too slow. Sometimes with aortic valve disease the conduction system gets damaged because it is close to the valve, and the patient needs a pacemaker.
