Would A Pacemaker Help Congestive Heart Failure?
My father will be 93 next April 12th, 2015. I just talked to him long distance on the telephone. His blood pressure was so low today it would next register when my sister took it. He is very active and goes out to yard sales with his 74 year old friend! Would a pacemaker help his Congestive Heart Failure? Joann

Hi,
If he has bradycardia or heart block or pauses, which worsens his congestive heart failure, pacemaker will improve his heart failure.
Wishing a good health to your father
