sure if Medtronic makes it. Does your report indicate the specific pacemaker?

Pacemaker syncope
Subject: Pacemaker syncope

Pacemaker syncope due to "a runaway pacemaker firing" could be referred to as a "referred syncope."

Also...a pacemaker when inserted to treat syncope, fails to function, then the patient would have "recurrent syncope" due to pacemaker failure.

MS-Word help. numbered lists
Subject: MS-Word help. numbered lists

Wasn't sure which board to post this on. Will try here. I've just reinstalled MS-Word. Previously, I had it set up to create numbered lists as soon as I typed a number, two spaces, and began typing text. After that, every time I hit ENTER, the list would continue numbering. I've gone to the bullets and numbering menu, and I can get the automatic numbered lists turned on. My problem is that every list is indented, but I want the lists to be flush with the margin. I can right click on the list and select "decrease indent", and that moves everything over, but I'd like to get rid of that step. Previously I had it set up to do all of that automatically. I just can't remember how to set that up now.

I hope I described this problem clearly. If you can help me, I'd really appreciate it!

Sounds like Dr. Campbell's pacemaker OR
Subject: Sounds like Dr. Campbell's pacemaker OR

The ventricular lead was difficult to place and required multiple repositions. Even at final positioning the thresholds were not great. He had a pacing threshold of 0.8 volts at a current of 1.8 ma with an impedance of 576 ohms. R-wave sensing was 4.1 millivolts. However, I don’t feel that sensing on this lead will be all that necessary – he is pacemaker dependent. Both leads were then fixed in place and connected to a Medtronic DDDR pacemaker model Kappa DR803. The pacemaker demonstrated good sensing and capture.
____ 496 ohms (pacemaker)
Subject: ____ 496 ohms (pacemaker)

The R-wave was measured at 12.6 millivolts. Pacing threshold was 0.7 volts at 0.5 milliseconds, ____  832 ohms.  The second lead was then placed in the right atrium.  P-waves measured 1.7.  Pacing threshold was 1.1 volts at 0.5 milliseconds, ____ 496 ohms.


This doctor talks so fast I have no idea what he is saying.  The two blanks are the same word but I have no clue what it even sounds like.
