Hi all, had my AVR done on Monday and it was a complete success, maybe. The operation went fine and I was in the ICU until Tuesday night before being moved into the general carearea oof the hospital. I was walkiong the same day and off all except a pacer by Wednesday. AS long as I stay ahead of the pain with meds, I'm doing good. I remain in the hospital though because the doctors are not confortable with my heart rythms as they sit., At first, my heart rate was too low, so the external pacer was installed. By the next day, my heart rate was a stable 70 with the pace maker being used only as a safety net. I am now told They want to see my rytems to be more normal. If thsat does not happen by forst of the week, I believe I am looking at a pacemaker being installed.
Anyone else had a similar experience and had to have a pacemaker installed or have this sort of thing clear up?
