TY - JOUR AU - Aqeel, Masooma AU - Shafquat, Azam AU - Salahuddin, Nawal PY - 2008 DA - 2008/11/14 TI - Pacemaker patients' perception of unsafe activities: a survey JO - BMC Cardiovascular Disorders SP - 31 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - Cardiac pacing is a recognized and widely used treatment for patients presenting with bradycardia. Physicians expect patients to return to normal activities almost immediately post implantation. However, patients themselves may perceive interference to pacemaker function by various routine activities and devices, and hence continue to lead restricted, disabled lives. The aim of this study is to determine if routine activities are perceived by pacemaker patients to interfere with their device function.
