Doctors can program heart devices to monitor themselves, leads, and the heart for changes that require attention. Some heart devices can also be programmed to make a beeping tone when something has occurred that requires medical attention. If a beeping tone occurs, contact a doctor so they can discuss what has happened.

Doctors can also program heart devices to send heart information automatically through a wireless device to the clinic without a beeping noise. Ask a doctor to explain the type of wireless device that will be used to send heart information.
