The pacemaker and leads can last for years, but follow-up
appointments must be kept to make sure they are working correctly. These
follow-up appointments with our specialists at our Device Clinic allow for
all the components of the pacemaker to be checked. Here, we will check the
pacemaker settings, battery status, and check the leads to see how they
interact with the heart. These appointments are critical to your long-term
health and should always be kept.
