Hi Brian,
I am glad to hear that you do not have the pacemaker brand in question. What
I was talking about is the breaking of the electrode cables bringing the
signals to the heart muscle. Thus, you have a loose wire in your heart muscle
that will wander around--it therefore has to be surgically removed, which is
not an easy task because of the potential damage to the muscle. Patients with
these pacemeker models are currently being checked every 6 months--thats
between about every 20 million fatigue cycles [=heart beats].
A friend of mine has this pacemaker and he is not very happy.

Best regards,
Werner
