Before recommending a pacemaker, your doctor will consider any arrhythmia symptoms you have, such as dizziness, unexplained fainting, or shortness of breath. He or she also will consider whether you have a history of heart disease, what medicines you're currently taking, and the results of heart tests.
The pacemaker is adjusted to the patientâs cardiac rhythm, and it emits a short, low-voltage pulse when the patientâs pulse gets too low. It can be compared to a power switch that turns on the light and makes it flash one single time. But even among people with a pacemaker, death due to cardiac problems is very common.
