Mr. Penny----- There are several minor annoyances you will encounter with your pacemaker. The first and possibly the main one is not to carry your cellphone in your breast pocket as it could cause the pacemaker to lose its settings. If you go to a motel that uses cards for keys don"t carry them in your breast pocket. We had the pacemaker erase the setting on the key and the desk clerk had to reset it. You can't have an MRI scan because the MRI is run with powerful magnets. When going through the boarding checkout you must tell them about your pacemaker because they can't put you through the booth. They advance you to the front and check you with a paddle. As the years go by you will have your own experiences to tell about. Good luck. Odd-d
have had mri with pacemaker, still alive, i think?
apparently all new pacemakers are now mri ok and most older also.
do not know about defibrillator.
always let them (all) know before procedure, just to be safe.
