Hi Kanaaz @kanaazpereira I hope you don't mind me jumping in here with a different pacemaker question. How does one go about researching a particular one that has been recommended for me? It is the Medtronic Advisa dual chamber model A2DR01. I was told that initially it would be set to a mode that would detect arrhythmias and increase the rate to get me back to sinus. Does that sound familiar to you? I am curious how successfully it does that because the second option then is the AV node ablation which does not sit well with me at all. I currently have a very complex atypical left atrial flutter and have had 2 ablations since Sep 2017. I am actually quite pleased they worked so well and that I have only had 2 cardioversions - last one several days ago. Not sure if this will continue and how soon I will have to decide on next steps. I am thinking of getting a second opinion at Mayo and was hoping you would have a recommendation. I looked at all the bios but could not decide. Thanks. -- Mary
Thanks, Kanaaz. I'm still researching. The idea of having this done scares me, but I'm not doing well this way, so. . . .
