It would have been grea to have had the pacemaker sent us an alert that it's not pacing because of a broken wire. Especially for pacer dependent people, since the wire probably doesn't just brake suddenly, the change in conductivity due to cracking of wire would probably be detected early. I assume that the downside is that it uses more battery life and therefore time between surgeries is reduced.
