We usually begin by assessing the remaining lifespan of the generator (battery), and we can estimate its duration with relatively good accuracy. The function of the electrodes is tested, and we verify that the electrical current to and from the myocardium is adequate. Certain parameters may also be adjusted based on the findings.     <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2>ARE THERE ANY RISKS?<\/h2>\n<p>There are few, if any, risks during the examination. During the device testing and calibration, you may occasionally experience mild dizziness or a rapid heartbeat. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT IS IT?
