What are the side effects of pacemaker

summary

Many elderly people are very easy to suffer from heart disease, and in the treatment of heart disease, pacemaker is often used, which is helpful to the treatment. But it will also bring some side effects, so what are the side effects? Now let's introduce it to you.

What are the side effects of pacemaker

First: pacemakers may increase the risk of developing sleep apnea syndrome in patients with heart disease. After a reliable pacemaker is installed, the patient will be in a good condition immediately. The heart rate can beat according to the pulse rate set by the pacemaker, and the life can be as normal as that of normal people. Nevertheless, we can not relax our vigilance.

Second: because pacemaker is a high-precision instrument, it is affected by many factors, such as under the high-voltage line, in the strong electromagnetic field, on the engine, which will have a great impact on the pacemaker, making its frequency abnormal and affecting the pacing function, so do not work or live in the above occasions.

Third: the pacemaker should not collide with hard objects, otherwise it will damage the pacemaker and lose its normal function, causing danger. If a patient accidentally falls down on the way to work after installing a pacemaker, and the pacemaker happens to touch a stone, the patient immediately develops serious arrhythmia. Only after the pacemaker is replaced immediately can the patient be saved.

matters needing attention

Although pacemaker can help treatment, it also has some side effects. For example, it will increase the risk of heart disease patients suffering from sleep apnea syndrome, and abnormal frequency distribution will also occur. If there is arrhythmia, it will lead to arrhythmia. Therefore, when using it, we must pay attention not to collide with hard objects.
