pacemaker

My mother at 85 has just had a pacemaker implanted. She seems to be doing well and the device is pacing quite often suggesting that she really needed one. It is interesting to watch the trace of the electrocardiogram in real time and see how often the pacemaker switches in to help things out. She was at the dentist and for some reason then did a blood pressure and found it off the chart. A quick drive to the hospital and an overnight ECG resulted in a pacemaker the next day. Hopefully this will give her many more years. She golfs three times a week wining tournaments in her age class. She may do even better now.
