Is there ant risk in pacemaker

2018-09-12 12:17:37
My father is 64 years old. His heartbeats are very irregular. And he has also undergone once bypass surgery. Yesterday his cardiologist has advised him for a pacemaker. So before putting in the pacemaker I wanted to know that are there any risks in it? Will it completely rectify the problem? Will he be able to retain it?
