welcome to hcm ..
pacemaker is placed if pulse is slow as below 45 etc but there are other causes also for which pacemaker is put so ask your cardiologist he will tell why pacemaker was put in your father
when your doctor tells the reason for putting pacemaker you can come to this site if you are still not satisfied with his answer but come with diagnosis ..we will help to clear your doubts
