Pacemaker and defibrillator checkups
The heart is required to maintain a fast-enough heartbeat and rhythm to keep blood flowing throughout the body. Pacemakers and defibrillators are devices sometimes implanted in the body to keep the heart beating properly. Periodic checkups are required to examine these devices. We also provide monthly transtelephone pacemaker checkups. |
