I am fortunate to be at Mayo Jacksonville. My EP is the director of Electrophysiology Department and Pace Clinic and did all three of my surgeries.

Mayo Jacksonville has an outstanding pace clinic.

When I read about those that have experienced the mental anxiety of not getting excellent and informative care, I realized I am fortunate to be at Mayo Jacksonville.

I am not sure which manufacturer of your device is. Your manufacturer will have a web site. You can put in your device model and get excellent information on what it can do, etc. Also, you can send questions to them, and they will answer.

I have a Boston Scientific device and even though Mayo Jacksonville is excellent I have used Boston Scientific web site to research many things and to ask additional questions.

Boston Scientific does a lot of tests and research of their products. I had a question once about smart keys right next to device. Mayo Pace asked me to check with Boston Scientific as they had not seen a problem with it but wanted me to be sure by contacting Boston Scientific.

On my exercise setting. It was never put in when received the pacemakers. One day a pace tech commented on me exercising a lot and asked did I want the exercise mode turned on. I said yes. Within a few days I had the ICD try to pulse me out of tachacardia and then shocked me.

I could feel the exercise mode kicking in prior to this and did not like the feeling. I don't think my heart like it either. So I had them turn it off and did not get another shock.
