Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am going in fro a pacemaker this Wednesday. I have done some research and it appears that a ST Jude pacemaker would be my best choice as I do some MIG welding. If I have to give up welding it will be tough. Is the St Jude unit more forgiving then Metronics?
thank you for asking good and practice question....actually both company launch some specific pacemakers and claim that it would be MRI compatible...it would give no harm in welding and electromagnetic field and so on.....but the fact is. both are same...and also these welding work is relative contraindication..it may give u transient harm...so better to avoid your work
