Is A Heart Rate Of 100 Normal After Pacemaker Placement?
Question: Is a heart rate of 100 okay with a pacemaker?
Brief Answer:
Slightly elevated heart rate
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,
Heart rate of 100bpm is slightly elevated.
Pacemaker usually works when there is slow heart rate, so it does nothing in elevated rates.
I would advise you to see your doctor and perform an ECG to find out the cause and receive treatment if there is some arrhythmia.
Take care
