Your doctor will check your pacemaker once or twice a year and this can often be done over the telephone. Most of the complications are rare and most people tolerate the procedure without any problems. Pacemakers do not treat atrial fibrillation. Hope this answers some of your concerns. Be sure to discuss these with your doctor before proceeding with the pacemaker.
