pacemaker infections are not common but can occur. fever redness at the incision site significant pain or swelling and any discharge from the incision are all things that could raise suspicions of infection. it's a great idea to have the pacemaker site checked out by your doctor in follow-up to make sure everything looks good!
my doctor replaced my pacemaker then went back in to fix it. he says to watch for infection. what should i look for?
