It is a long term solution that works.įebruary 19, - I wonder if they have ever done any studies on whether or not having a pacemaker actually trains the heart to stop working on its own. The pacemaker procedure has saved so many lives including those of a lot of people I know, that I don't think it matters. Maybe it does eventually encourage the heart to stop working, but the hearts of pacemaker patients are already going that way. And I'm not sure how they could study the long term effects ethically, because there would be no way to have an ethical control group without possibly condemning some people to living without a pacemaker, which can mean great discomfort or death. February 20, - By the time they are at the point where they think it's a good idea to put in a pacemaker, there really isn't going to be any other choice.
