So yesterday at 11am I heard a high pitched tone, and passed out. Woke up, called and got to the ER. I experienced 5 more episodes, was life flighted to Swedish Hospital in Seattle and had a pacemaker installed before 5pm. Recovery was going well up to this point. I experienced a complete heart block. Recovery restarts today.

Chris Wagner I had an AVR 8 weeks ago and was recovering “very well” according to my cardiologist. He said “If I ever have Heart Surgery I hope I recover as well as you are doing” this was just a week ago. A full heart block is a block in the electric signal that makes the lower portion of your heart contract and pump. Without that there is no circulation and you loose consciousness. They have no idea what triggered it.
