People here who have recently had an AV node neutralization and a modern pacemaker say that they newest pacemakers will help with tachyarrhythmias by over-pacing. So I would ask that specific question: are there pacemakers that will double-cycle or whatever it's called to get a rapid HR back down to normal levels. I do know that in previous years, all pacemakers were meant to do is to speed up HR for those whose hearts beat too slowly.

As you must know, there is that real danger of a bad fall, hitting your head......we don't want to go there. So, this EP sounds like he has your best interests in mind. Even so, what would it cost you to get a second opinion?
