Heart rate becoming a threatening issue

2018-01-12 17:05:10
My friend has a slower heart rate than normal and his doctor says that it seems that it will cut his life expectancy in half. He also says that a pacemaker will only prolong his life by a few years. Is there a way to treat this completely so that he can live out the fullness of his life.
