pacemaker and heart attck
I was conserned, my father has recently had to undergo surgery and have a pacemaker put in. I was just worried that is there a possibility of him still havin a heart attack. any information will help.. thank you
A pacemaker will NOT prevent a heart attack! All it does is keep the heart rate from being too low; a heart attack has to do with blockages in the coronary arteries and is a totally different thing. The pacemaker is for an electrical problem, not a plumbing problem.
Pacemaker won't cover the severe heart attack. Once the vessel rupture, pacemaker in this situation is useless. Am I right?
I hope your dad is recovering and feeling well!
This would depend on why he was given the pacemaker.. Has he had a previous heart attack?? If you are concerned this is definatly something you should talk to his physician about.
