My mom was given one of the bullet shaped pacemakers that go into the heart. It has worked fabulously for her and she is now 92 years old and still hanging in there! 👍🥳🌷
This guy gave me my life back. My cardiologist gave me meds that put me in the hospital. Please people get 2nd and 3rd opinions before blindly trusting any doctors.
Thankyou, i don't need it yet only having af now and again after one ablation but it's really nice listening to someone who doesn't lie. You are extremely well received and appreciated. And as our society's ability to communicate deteriorates due to all of our addiction to tv screens and what we all think we need more of...ill hold on to... the good whilst it's still coming..... yes..... you're the good. Thankyou for your time , it's priceless
I’m a recent pacemaker recipient for sudden complete heart block and developed POTS. I have learned so much from your videos. Sadly the doctors and specialists here in Australia who I’ve seen don’t seem to know much about POTS.
I believe he spent some time in Nairobi, Kenya, with his father who was not well and passed away. I don't remember when that was, but about a year ago seems right.
I am a new subscriber to your channel and binge watching your videos! I have recent anxiety and have been to 4 different E.R.'s with all kinds of blood tests, CT scans and x-ray. However, none of that has made me feel as calm and confident in my health than you. Thank you so much for your expertise and time!
As the (co) designer of the integrated circuit electronics in the Nanostim single chamber and dual chamber leadless pacemakers, I will say that if I had to have a pacer, given the choice, I would go with a conventional lead based unit over leadless.
Nice to see you with the latest Infos. I watch regularly your videos but most of these are 4 or 5 years old. I was wondering why there is no fresh updates. Thanks for coming up with the latest. Keep it up bro. Your narration is like a poetry. We need you because most of the doctors take their patient for a ride. Be blessed. Any latest update about POTS?
Hello Doc, been watching your videos for years now. Found Heart Failure and AFIB at age 47( 2017) RF was around 22%, my doc gave Beta blocks/beat enhancers and blood thiners. Was told to walk, so my wife and I walked several miles, several times a week. Got the RF to 52% Had both Cardioversion(1st lasted about 6 months next one I think 2 months) Cryoblastion twice. For the last 6 months EKGs have seen no AFIB, so Dr. had me wear a heart monitor for 2 weeks. Turns out my lower chamber are stopping from time to time, hated the idea of a pacemaker, Doc said the one they install in the heart would work for me. Looks like I am riding the technology wave 9/24/23 0950 getting read to go to church, thanks everone.
Thank you so much for giving that overview of leafless pacemakers. I have a dual lead pacemaker and I’ve always wondered if the leafless pacemaker would work for me. Since I need 2 leads for pacing, it looks as if the leafless pacemaker would not work for me. I’m new to having my pacemaker about 5 months now. The complication that scares me is regurgitation at the tricuspid valve. I’ll be talking to my cardiologist about this at my next appointment in October. Thanks again doctor for helping me to understand leafless pacemakers.
Hi Dr. Sanjay, Thank you for your video, very informative. I love your channel. I have AV Block 2.1 and had to have a pacemaker installed Sep 2020. I am 57 years old and still very active [ I do kayaking etc ] so I looked into having a Micra lead-less pacemaker installed and my electrophysiologist [ in Dublin Ireland ] was happy to do so, however he felt it was best to use the older twin lead device [ manufactured by Medtronic as well ]. Reasons - 1. The Micra lead less device works well however it will only pace the heart efficiently up to 110 beats per minute. 2. Once the Micra lead less pace maker has been installed after x2 months it is extremely difficult to remove due to tissue from the heart growing around the device, at the attachment points. As a result, when the battery expires it leaves you with having to install a second one in the heart [ this uses more volume in the chamber ]. 3. Studies show that pacing from one chamber only when you have AV Block 2.1 can cause more rapid heart deterioration. Note - In Jan 2020 they updated the software in the Micra device so it now has the ability to pace dual chambers [ very clever, I believe it uses sound vibration to synchronise pacing ]. I went for the traditional Medtronic duel pacemaker in the end, and it has worked out fine so far [ 10 months later ]. Hope this info helps other people. ❤️😀
Having once worked for a pacemaker manufacturer I know that the body encapsulates the leads making them most difficult to remove when a new pacemaker is implanted.along with new leads. It is the old leads which were left in place that can cause a constriction, that eventually lead to death of the patient.
From the video I take it that the pacemaker with leads leaves the leads in place when a new "generator" is required. The spent main unit is exposed with an incision and the leads are disconnected from it, leaving the leads and the unit in place. The new main unit gets connected outside the body to the original leads and tested for operational adequacy. Then the original main unit is removed and the new unit implanted.
We missed you Sanjay, when I fisrt saw the title I was very enthusiastic but when you explained how it works I was bit of disappointed, as the way through the blood vessels is not very appealing to me, reminds me of my dad who needed a stent for an aorta aneurysm but his iliac arteries were making a lot of turns and they might be not so flexible because of his age , so there might be a danger of repture of the vessel, so this danger may stand in this ocassion too. I tought that technology had invented something that could control the pace from outside through a bluetooth or something like that, I am sorry to day that medicine has poor outcomes in common cardiac diseases and this also leads me to wonder if they fail on purpose, anyway, I was really glad to see your smiling face again.!!
On purpose? I'm fairly cynical about a lot of things these days, but there's too much regulation to go through to design something to fail in medicine ... at least so far.
What kind of magical battery will be a full time lifesaver for fifteen years? Lithium primary cells are good for about ten years, but only if you're not using them. Modern rechargeables are swollen toxic trash after about five years.
If not rechargeable then lithium thionyl is a good bet. They're also used in high tech equipment which doesn't have possibility to be recharged or having battery changed yet the equipment works for 20+ years. Lithium thionyl has even more energy and longer shelf life than regular high grade lithium cells (Like energizer L91, CR123 etc.). (And can you overlook the calibration certification replacing the cell(s) and it'll work for another 20+ years - personally I've replaced a few cells in laboratory clock/stop watches on behalf of a family member and saved their employer for huge amount on new stopwatches (no issues with calibration for their use))
Hi Dr. Gupta. Thanks for revealing the existence of this " miracle" device. Regarding infections , do risks of infections exist for as long as I have a pacemaker or just at the time of implantation ? Like your videos , by the way. Many thanks.
You’re not clear about the condition that requires 2 chambers (old pacemaker), rather than one. I have a-fib that comes and goes and wonder if I’ll need one of these someday.
My moms cardiologist only out in one lead - when he said he was going to put in two. He put it in the top part - when she needed it in the bottom part. She had multiple blood clots in her left arm the day after surgery. She had the battery replaced last October. She is 85 and in heart failure and her doctor wants to put in new leads. She had a really good PA who got her out of heart failure for 3 years. But she is back in it again since replacing her battery. Would this be something that would help her?
Thank you for your informative content. I have 2 questions. If the device has to be removed what kind of damage will the tines do to the heart? If removed Will the tines leave a space that could potentially fill with fluid or blood?
@@gwenfancello5384 no unfortunately I never got a response. I have a pacemaker with leads. I am curious about the leafless one though. I will probably talk to my electrophysiologist about one if I ever have to have this one replaced. Best wishes to you!
My holter result shows 326 episodes of atrial fibrillation, 21 episodes of bradycardia, 1 episode of tachycardia and 1 episode of wenckebach block. I haven't faint before. Please do I need pacemaker or I will be fine? My cardiologist havnt said anything yet. Am just 29

What about for those with unknown heart conditions that have yet to have a cardiac arrest…I know proper ECK & ECG along with cat scan of heart is best…maybe wearing a CPR vest around that an auto-detect a cardiac arrest and gives you the electro CPR shock to restore the heart rhythm to restore consciousness and follow-up with proper medical heart work-up at a hospital if no one that knows CPR and AED defib device is around or near you to resuscitate you …that way you won’t die.
Please make a video on Jugular vein distension (JVP) does it related to heart failure. From last week I can see a slightly visible vein on my neck right side does it related to heart failure or because I am thin and tall. ??
My Dr.wants to but a dual peacemaker in me one wire on top of heart,and 2 wires on the bottom. I like the one you talk about am in Mo. Do they do the pacemaker you talk about here in Mo.

The science is amazing, but there are serious cons for patients who are terminal. My mother had a medtronic pacemaker after her heart attack due to low heart rate. Soon after we found she had aggressive breast cancer. While on hospice, it was time to turn it off as most hospice's do to patients toward the end, so she could go naturally, but they surprisingly refused. We had the medical team and hospice team talk to them and advocate for us quite a bit, and they said no. People need to know this as it's a serious issue and in my opinion cruel and unethical.
This interest me. Very elderly Grandfather at his end in the hospital....I was told his pace maker held up his end...I could not find out details. I do not want to be bionic.
@@spocksdaughter9641 Yes understood. The traditional pacemakers under the skin get turned off easily waving a large magnet over the device. A nurse tried that method, but it did not wrk.
