Tony's Heart: Arrhythmia

For at least 6 years (from 2008 to 2014) Tony suffered from arrhythmia and had a pacemaker and ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) in his chest along with arc reactor. How do we know this:

IM1 0:25:55 - There's no need to "run a heart" if there's only shrapnel in the chest. Yinsen's words only make sense if there is something running the heart that requires electricity from the reactor - a pacemaker and ICD.

IM1 0:51:10 - In the scene where Pepper changes his reactor and takes out the old magnet, we hear Tony's heart went into tachycardia and he was about to get a cardiac arrest (caused by arrhythmias). After connecting the new reactor, Tony received an electric shock and his heart rate returned to normal. What happened: It wasn't the shrapnel that caused this reaction - even without magnet, the shrapnel would have been too slow to cause immediate danger. A pacemaker-ICD is a power source, chip, and electrodes that go to a heart. In this case, the power source is the reactor itself, the chip is part of the reactor, and the electrodes run from the base of the socket to Tony's heart. When Tony connected the reactor cable to the base plate, he connected it to the electrodes so that his pacemaker could work and save him from his irregular heartbeats. Apparently connecting the reactor to the base plate was necessary to power his pacemaker and nothing else, since the old magnet had been pulled out by Pepper and the new reactor had its own magnet. Without reactor-pacemaker-ICD, he had no protection against arrhythmia. So when Pepper touched the socket walls, it gave Tony a shock and disrupted his hearth rhythm (similar happened to him in Endgame), then she pulled out the magnet and that stressed him enough to give him tachycardia, and as soon as the reactor was reconnected, the pacemaker-ICD worked again and corrected Tony's heart rhythm by sending him a therapeutic electric shock.

IM1 1:37:00 - Stane pulled out the reactor with pacemaker out of Tony's chest. Without the pacemaker, due to temporary paralysis and stress Tony's heart went to bradycardia (abnormally slow heartbeat), which gives us the diagnosis - Sick Sinus Syndrome (tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome). Tony managed to get to his lab and connect the old reactor. Shrapnel and electromagnet had nothing to do with it, because, as I already mentioned, shrapnel is too slow to cause damage in such a short time, and we also have to remember that the old magnet was outside the reactor and was pulled out by Pepper. So there was no magnet in this reactor. From that moment until the end of the battle with Stane, the shrapnel in Tony's chest was free. Tony needed this reactor first to correct the arrhythmia, and then to power the armor, and not to stop the shrapnel. He plugged it in, received a treatment shock that eliminated the bradycardia, and may have lost consciousness, which is why he was lying on the floor when Rhodes found him.

IM3 Deleted scene "Tony, Harley and EJ" - Tony saves EJ using his reactor's ICD function. He had to take it out of his chest and give the boy shocks, receiving them himself, which disrupted his heart rhythm. This sent Tony into ventricular fibrillation, and Harley had to reconnect the reactor so the ICD could deliver the treatment shock you see in the second gif.

Avengers: Endgame (1:20:30) - Tony asked Scott to induce a mild cardiac dysrhythmia (another name for arrhythmia) in his 2012 copy by pulling out a pin inside the reactor. This appeared to disrupt the normal functioning of his pacemaker and caused him to have a series of abnormal shocks that led to an arrhythmia and him falling to the ground in convulsions. Note that Tony knew what to do and that it (probably) wouldn't kill him, meaning his pacemaker-ICD would eventually solve the problem on its own, even without Thor's help.

And finally:

In case my evidence is not convincing enough.

Why have I never heard anybody talk about how Broadchurch have a disabled main character??? And that it's done so well??? Alec is such a good representation of PTSD and I don't think I ever saw a character just casually having arrhythmia as sub-plot that's always there, even just in the form of Hardy not being allowed to drive.

Ok, so, I got arrhytmya

Maybe it´s karma, maybe is an unasked wish getting true, but my heart is beating irregularly. Imagine doing some stething before sleep, and then oops! my heart was skipping beats, beating irregularly and stopping for re-start.

So, first I was frightened, because that is not meant to happen. Gentle reminder: your heart can literally kill you. And then I was thinking: I need to go with a doctor, how will I explain how I did discovered that?

And then I somehow was grateful of being a cardiophile. Give thanks for this: we as cardiophiles are A LOT more self-aware of our hearts than the common people. So if for some reason we see a danger over our heart, we can address very early.

I had health care professionals placing stethoscopes and doing ECGs on me. At some point I felt peace "if I have something, they will tell me". I was thinking "I am trough ECG, but its for real". Final diagnose: it is by stress and will go away in some days.

Now that I know that my heart won´t put me in a casket at least for now (kind of crazy because I also have death fetish), I can just sit and enjoy myself and my irregular heartbeat with peace of mind. Yes, we are deviated at some point, embrace that side of us and be happy. This is our safe place where we can unleash our dark thoughts to people who can undertand us.

Thank you for reading, and keep your heart beating!

Apparently, I found out that if you have heart diseases/arrhythmia and you start catching cold you basically can feel it like a heart attack! Surprising how no one never mention this sh*t.

It's happening basically because your body need more oxygen to fight with cold so it literally start overworking (yes, picture below is true. You can just stand up and your heart literally do a flip, like it running a marathon). Try to relax and don't move most of the time.

So since it's a season for all illness, be aware of this.

Don't panic, yet don’t brush it off!

Call ambulance/go for check up since regular cold much more dangerous for you than for a normal person.

~ Stay safe! ~

Tyler spent the day work outside and falls asleep in the grass. Little did he know he has an arrhythmia that has gone unnoticed and his heart starts beating wildly. His heart stops and when he is found by his buddies they perform CPR but he's already gone.
