Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Sat Nam, One of my students told me today that she has a cardiac pace maker and would like to know if there are any contraindications. Does anyone know of any..? I've not come across this before. Thank-you, Krishan Shiva Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Sat Nam; Most people with a pacemaker don't have too many lifestyle restrictions. The pacemaker is usually used only when the hearbeat becomes too low, and it often brings a more active lifestyle than before. Then again...there are different types of pacemaker, suited for different needs. As with any new physical activity {and we all know KY may be physically challenging at times}, the safest route would be to check with her physician. Humbly...

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Sat Nam Krishan Shiva Kaur, I'm a technician in a company that manufacture pacemakers (Medtronic). The best thing your student must do is to consult her cardiologist. Most pacemakers have an activity sensor that adjust the pacing according to the person's activity level. In this case I believe there will be no problem. But if the pacemaker does not have the activity sensor feature then, problems may arise.
