Does Pacemaker With Blended Algorithm Work Best For Active 71 Yr Old Male?
Can you give me a comparison of the latest pace makers available at this time? I am an active male, 71 years old and I am due to have a pace make installed Friday, July 19. In my research, one with a blended alogrithm seems to be the one for active persons. Your thoughts.

Dear patient,
Thanks for your query. Indeed, these pacers with blended algorithms are able to detect changes in your respiratory pattern coupling to understand that you are exercising and allow a permissive range for extra cardiac output. It should be a good fit.
Hope this helps, wish you the best,
