Anemia is most likely due to the bleeding ulcers, but usually the heart rate goes up when anemia is present. If his heart rate is slow enough that his doctors think he needs a pacemaker, then that problem is due to something with his heart and doesn't have anything to do with the ulcers. Even if they got the ulcers to stop bleeding and the anemia was improved, he would still need the pacemaker. With control of anemia and ulcers, the heart rate would normally go down even further. Hope this answers your query. If you have further questions, I would be happy to answer them.
