Years ago when I was young and very active I had worked my resting heart
rate down to 35, and the docs insisted I needed a pacemaker to get it back
up to a normal range (60 or 70). So I did. From their chatter and my
reading I think most pacemakers go in for that reason (bradycardia), not
atrial fib. Nowadays I'm on my third or fourth pacemaker and it has a
built-in defibrillator, in case I happen to have sudden cardiac arrest. It
hasn't had to shock me yet. Since I'm 83 now it doesn't have a lot of time
left to prove it was worth the money. If I had stayed with the low heart
rate, I might have worked it down to zero by now and live forever (;-|).
I don't think our organs wear out. They might atrophy from lack of use, but
not wear out. Bees might wear out their wings, but probably not their
internal organs.
