    What type of exercising if any would cause the leads to break? Push-ups? Pull-ups? High Overhead stretch as in Bikram Yoga? Slalom Water skiing - getting up - arms pulled forward to skiing a course (one handed turns)? Thank You for your responses!

    • @dr.joshuacooper-arrhythmia9917
      @dr.joshuacooper-arrhythmia9917 Před měsícem

      Pacemaker lead fracture is difficult to predict and there are no specific activities that are predictably associated with lead fracture. The anatomic relationship between the pacemaker leads, the clavicle (collar bone), the ligament between the clavicle and the 1st rib likely plays a role in lead fracture risk, but that has more to do with the lead implantation and patient anatomy than specific activities. And so, both for quality of life reasons, as well as no data to support activity restrictions, there are no prohibitions on any particular type of exercise with a pacemaker in place (including no restrictions on push-ups, pull-ups, overhead reach/stretch, slalom water skiing) - but I envy the person who is this physically active and I must vow to do better myself!! :)

    I'm a 57yr old male, I had PSVT with WPW and AFIB. I couldn't get it on an EKG for 40 years. I've worn so many monitors, I think I used every single type many times. Then about 5 years ago I wore an extended time (30 days) model with a cell connection to a computer system somewhere. The very last day I had it on it started to fall off. I was very frustrated and removed the pads from my chest. Wouldn't you know I then had an episode of SVT, lightheaded and not feeling well I scrambled to put the pads back into place. I was lucky to get a graph of my WPW and had an ablation a few weeks later. 40 years of vasalva maneuvers, carotid massages and cold showers to control the episodes was over. I was so happy, so thankful to my cardiology team. I'm left with AFib now and treat it pharmacologically qith some success, I still get AFib issues but we adjust medication to set it right again. I've been cardioverted 2 times over the last 5 years.
