Anyone have a Leadless Pacemaker inplanted

Thank you for sharing your experience. I also received the Aveir which has iSi, implant to implant signals. New technology, Before Aveir could only do one chamber. I agree, glad we have todays technology to get us going again. Especially in your case needing 2 chambers.
All went well yesterday and I believe 90 days is the tell all. No dislodgement, etc. I'm 66 very active and they set my resting at 60 bpm and 170 bpm max. On my watch i've had it goes as low as 46 which is why I needed the PM. Bradycardia. I still have AFib according to my Kardia Mobile. Maybe I will get free of that eventually once the heart is fully healed. I had an ablation done January 28th to rid me of flutter then it went into afib.
Anyway, I'm happy for you and the gains you have received from these procedures and can live a more joyful lifestyle God Bless!

Thank you, and I’m glad that your procedure went well and that you are feeling good. Before I had my pacemaker, I would get a fib with tachycardia, and I could always tell when my heart was irregular. Now, I don’t really feel it when I have any kind of irregular beat. It seems to have changed that, well, at least the feeling of it. My next hurdle, is that I will be seeing my electrophysiologist on Monday to talk about taking me off of Flecainide. I will need to be hospitalized for a few days to be put on the new medication as it can cause a serious irregular beat. I have initiated this because I have heart failure, and flecainide is contraindicated for that because it makes it harder for the heart to beat. I don’t really want to do it, but I think it’s necessary. Last time I talked to him, he said that I was not a good candidate for the ablation. Not sure why so I will talk to him about that too. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. May God bless you too!
