Are there different kinds of pacemakers for different activity levels?
Today’s pacemakers mimic the wide range of lifestyles and activity levels of the people who use them. People who enjoy walking, golfing, or swimming needn’t worry. Physicians can provide patients with pacemakers to meet their individual needs. The physician decides on the type of pacemaker best suited for a patient, based upon why the pacemaker is needed, the patient’s other medical conditions, and how often the heart is likely to need assistance from the device.
