Medtronic Rhythms of Life Newsletter


		Welcome to Rhythms of Life This Patient Services web site is designed for you...the cardiac medical device wearer, your family and your friends. Few life events get our attention as quickly as a heart condition or illness. Adjusting to a change, even a positive change, can be stressful because it involves learning to function within new territory. With this in mind, we have designed this site as a resource to help you with this change. In this site, you will be able to read about some of the people who have agreed to share their life stories. There are educational articles for you to access and read—or print and read—as your lifestyle and activities change. We have also included links to the Medtronic Internet site and other health-related sites that may be of interest to you. Our Rhythms of Life Newsletter is the basis for the information on these pages and is written by the employees of Medtronic's Patient Services Department. Our goal is to give you information that will be helpful, but also give you ideas about where to look for health information and how to find the best sources so you can play an active role in your medical care. It should not be used as an alternative to speaking with your doctor or nurse. Be sure to discuss specific questions about conditions and treatments with your medical professional. Please consider bookmarking this page for future reference.
