    My mother was 77 when she was found to have an irregular heartbeat. Shortly after, she had a pacemaker placed next to her heart to help keep the rhythms regular. She is a healthy 83 year old today. Apparently, this is now a fairly common surgical procedure that is done and has good results. Thank goodness.
