KATIE, I THINK YOU SHOULD FIND A GOOD ELECTROPHYSIOLOGIST (EP). CARDIOLOGISTS I FEEL DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THE HEART. I LEFT HOSPITAL WITH A PACEMAKER AFTER MAZE. IF YOU HAVE THE NEWER PACERS THE EP CAN REGULATE IT WHILE YOU ARE IN HIS OFFICE. HE CAN TELL HOW MUCH IT IS DOING AND IF IT IS POSSIBLE FOR IT TO BE REMOVED. MY HEART LIMITS WERE CHANGED THEN IT WAS TURNED OFF FOR A WEEK EXCEPT FOR THE PART THAT REGISTERS WHAT THE HEART IS DOING. AFTER A WEEK IT WAS DETERMINED THAT I DID NOT NEED IT. MY MAZE WAS OCT 2000 AND THE PACER REMOVED FEB 2001. IF YOU LIVE NEAR NAPLES FLORIDA, DR. SINAN GURSOY IS WONDERFUL. GOOD LUCK , TOM
