What Heart Patients Should Know Now about Implantable DefibrillatorsICDs or implantable defibrillators save lives but are expensive therapy. They are sometimes challenged for cost effectiveness, but studies support that ICD therapy is indeed cost effective. The biggest challenge is getting people who could benefit from ICDs to realize they might need one. Three out of four people who could get life-saving benefits from an ICD do not have one! The Three Biggest Mistakes People Make When Considering Getting a PacemakerIf you are suddenly confronted with the decision to get a pacemaker ... what should you do? While any medical decision can be harrowing, there are three specific pitfalls to making the choice about getting a pacemaker. Learn what they are and how to avoid them in this easy-to-understand article. Help! I Need a Pacemaker!If you or a loved one just got the news that a pacemaker is needed--or if you recently got a pacemaker, you've probably found out there is not a lot of information available to pacemaker people. Here are some basic facts about pacemakers and how they work ... and why they may benefit you. Has Christianity really held women back?Christianity is often castigated as being a force that holds women back, but actually the opposite is the case. While many ancient (and even some modern) cultures and religions tend to view women as second-class citizens, Jesus taught about women and children in a radical way, paving the way for females to be considered equal to men and for children to be protected and valued.

What the Bible Says About How to Raise KidsThe Bible gives four key points on raising children. Parents should raise children with a distinct goal in mind--and it's not necessarily to see them be happy, fulfilled individuals. The Bible mentions one specific task that parents cannot give to another person, no matter how competent that other person is. Beyond that, the Bible talks about discipline and the one thing parents must never ever do to their children. A Primer for New Pacemaker or Defibrillator PatientsIf you or a loved one just got a new pacemaker or defibrillator, it may seem like you've got a big adjustment ahead of you. Actually, things may be much more normal than you imagined. Getting used to life with a pacemaker or defibrillator won't take long! Help! I Might Need a Pacemaker! Is a Heart Attack Next?If you've been told you need a pacemaker, it does not mean you are at increased risk for a heart attack. In fact, pacemakers are implanted to treat an irregular heart rhythm which actually has nothing to do with a heart attack. Irregular heart rhythms, or arrhythmias, can often be successfully treated with a pacemaker. Why Pacemaker Recalls May Soon be Called Something ElseA recent meeting of arrhythmia and pacemaker specialists has addressed the issue of pacemaker safety and, in part, recommended that the FDA, regulatory agencies, and physicians stop using the word "recall" and instead substitute "safety advisory." While this may seem like semantics to you, the real core is how to manage the delicate problem of mechanical trouble in implantable devices. Women of the BibleWomen of the Bible represent a diverse sampling of females, ranging from royalty (Queen Esther) to migrant farm workers (Ruth) and from the very good (Mary, the mother of Jesus) to the very bad (Jezebel). Women were warriors (Deborah), merchants (Lydia), landowners (the unnamed Proverbs 31 woman), mothers (Leah, Hannah, Sarah) and prophetesses (Miriam, Anna).
