What is the effect of a pacemaker after aortic valve replacement surgery? - aortic valve replacement surgery
My father, 46 years old, underwent heart surgery on Wednesday and had his aortic valve replaced with a mechanical valve.
His heart has started is not new (awake) and is now being put in a pacemaker on Monday.
I really do not know what it all means. Is it normal? What are the risks? The doctors seem pretty relaxed about the procedure and assured us that there is nothing to fear.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

"His heart has not yet started growing his new account) (and is now making in a pacemaker on Monday."
Dad's heart is a muscular organ with four chambers specially designed to work efficiently, accurately and continuously throughout life. the muscles of his contract in a regular order and then pumps the blood through the body needs during spends to beat, as little energy as possible to everyone.
The contraction of the muscle fibers in the heart itself is determined by current flows through the heart in a certain way controlled by different pathwaysand a controlled rate.
The electric current that each heartbeat begins its origin in biological father is the pacemaker, the sinoatrial or SA node, located high in the upper right chamber of the heart or the right atrium. The speed at which the pacemaker discharges of Dad's natural electrical currents that determines the heart rate. This rate is influenced by nerve impulses and the level ofof certain hormones in the blood.
In adults at rest, the normal heart rate is typically 60 to 100 beats per minute. However, lower rates in young adults are possible, especially if in good shape. However, the heart rate is regarded by doctors as normal when the heart is too fast or irregularly, but when the electrical impulses travel through the abnormal way.
Age-related changes in the electrical system of the heart, arrhythmia rather like Dad. An overactive thyroid gland, sometimes ... identify no cause found.
Most arrhythmias cause no symptoms or impair the ability of blood, heart pump, and provide little or no risk, but can cause considerable anxiety if someone their opinion. However, some are harmless in itself, can lead to more serious cardiac arrhythmias. Therefore, any compromise arrhythmia, that the ability of the heart to pump blood at very seriously. How bad depends on whether the arrhythmia originates in the naThe cultural pacesetter in the courts, or chambers. By the chambers are more severe than those from the pacemaker. However, there are exceptions ....
Her father, aortic valve, possibly can to be) by abnormal rhythms (arrhythmias as a sequential pulses are irregular, too fast, too slow, or under the direction of an electrically abnormal heart known. Because with arrhymthmias harmless, the comfort is an appropriate treatment. Where's Dad is my proposal serious, it was decided to help a pacemaker to regulate his heartbeat.
Note that sometimes the natural pacemaker area of the father was a surgeon to reduce felt safe to intenionally sometimes damaged heart surgery. ... Like any cardiac surgery, which are intended for risk-taking ... and happen to risk certain things ... Inadvertently and without malice.
Heart's natural pacemaker of his father, the sinus node, has two sites affectedWhere is damaged when part of the natural pacemaker, the other takes over. At some point this cowardly "not strong enough or does not occur. Thus, a pacemaker implant is the decision of the doctors in the place of his own father pacemaker act to your advantage. Operationally under the skin, implanted USU. Under the left or right collarbone. .. then a connection to the heart of the son walks into the cephalic vein. Circuit, the battery is weak and creates art now a patient of 10-15 years undesturbed.
Basically Dad's rate after the placement takes under a fixed threashhold by doctors over the pacemaker, the pacemaker needed immediately by firing electrical impulses to help his father in his heart to start increaseing accordingly.
Hope this helps ...

I agree with Popo: The best answer will come from the cardiologist caring for her father, you have to ask not to be afraid.

I do not know whether your father of the aortic valve has been replaced by a bacterial infection or a defect. If it needed a bacterial infection, then maybe electric and natural pacemaker of the heart damage and provide assistance. A good rule of thumb, if the doctor does not seem in distress, then relax and research, as you are. After replacing the valve surgery is high, and the pacemaker may only temporarily relieve the cardiac function. Your best answer will come from the cardiologist caring for her father, you have to ask not to be afraid. Write your questions down at home, so you your language is not specified, if the physician. They are generally very suitable for family issues.
Since his heart right, will help the pacemaker, a regular heartbeat for him. This is done by people with heart problems, joint and has suggested. We only know that you keep your regular heartbeat.
