If you've been told you need a pacemaker, it does not mean you are at increased risk for a heart attack. In fact, pacemakers are implanted to treat an irregular heart rhythm which actually has nothing to do with a heart attack. Irregular heart rhythms, or arrhythmias, can often be successfully treated with a pacemaker.
