A Monitored Pacemaker Allows Peace of Mind


 

 

Wallace Daniels had survived three heart attacks, and it was an experience he didn’t care to repeat. But as recently as this past June, he says he was feeling “like death warmed over.”

“It was an ordeal to get out of bed,” he recalls. And then, he had yet another heart attack, which led him to Doylestown Hospital cardiologist Stephen Sloan, MD, who implanted a cardiac resynchronization device/pacemaker in his chest, just below his collarbone.

Today, Daniels says he feels 100-percent better. “I even went on a vacation recently, which would have been impossible a few months ago,” he says.

And knowing that his pacemaker is constantly being monitored gives him tremendous peace of mind. “I feel more secure knowing that the doctors are looking out for me,” he says. “This technology has been a godsend – I don’t know how I would have survived without it.”
