One day last spring, after fainting suddenly my doctors found that I had a very slow heart rate, a condition called bradycardia that often accompanies AFib.

To regulate my heartbeat, I needed a pacemaker— Dr. Wang felt that I was a strong candidate for a new type of pacemaker called the Micra transcatheter pacing system. Having undergone the first leadless pacemaker implementation to occur at White Plains Hospital, I can affirm its ease, Dr. Wang popped it in and that was it…Going forward, I felt fine!
