RE: recalled pacemaker leads

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry but maybe we won't have any fractures in our leads. They told me they can see during device check (just interrogation not pacing) that there is a certain noise that occurs with fracture. You are in my prayers.Do you or have you ever had pain with irreg heartbeats? Mine are better now but it's like sitting on a fence waiting to fall off.I started the Methotrexate subq injections (10mg) every week on Saturday (gave to myself). Hopefully that with the increased pred will see me through till they can determine whether I can tolerate the remicade. I did also get my echo report in the mail from s Hopkins and it showed trace myocardial infusion but they couldn't measure my ejection fraction (that's why I'm having the muga scan) or see my valves well enough to report on them.

Becky, excuse my ignorance (remember, I was on OB nurse/midwife nearly all of my career!), but what is a muga scan? Thank you.
