Hi. The ECG does show a rhythm disturbance which warrants pacemaker implantation provided correctable and reversible causes are ruled out.I am sure your doctor would have ruled that out before suggesting pacemaker. Your mother also already has RV dysfunction (right ventricular pumping is weak, probably post breast cancer treatment) so th doctor may suggest a specific type of pacemaker for her. Please go with your treating doctors advice.

As per thé ecg
PPI May be needed
If reversible causes are ruled out
Like abnormal pH. Electrolyte abnormality and drug induced
But if your doctors has suggested then he would have already ruled out everything
Please try to trust your doctor
