Is it normal for the heart rate of a person with a pacemaker to be at 80 or 90 when it is programmed at 70? What will the pacemaker do if the person is dying?

Thank you for your question. Pacemakers come in different types, and some are designed to regulate the heart rate. It is normal for the heart rate to vary when this type of pacemaker is used. I recommend consulting a physician for more information on this topic. Thank you.
