2. Pacemaker failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacemaker_failure

   Causes of pacemaker failure include lead related failure, unit malfunction, problems at the insertion site, failures related to exposure to high voltage electricity or high intensity microwaves, and a miscellaneous category (one patient had ventricular tachycardia when using his electric razor and another patient had persistent pacing of the ...

3. Pacemaker syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacemaker_syndrome

   [18] [20] Since its first discovery, there have been many definitions of pacemaker syndrome, and the understanding of the cause of pacemaker syndrome is still under investigation. In a general sense, pacemaker syndrome can be defined as the symptoms associated with right ventricular pacing relieved with the return of A-V and V-V synchrony. [17]

4. Twiddler's syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twiddler's_syndrome

   Twiddler's syndrome is a malfunction of a pacemaker due to manipulation of the device and the consequent dislodging of the leads from their intended location. As the leads move, they stop pacing the heart and can cause strange symptoms such as phrenic nerve stimulation resulting in abdominal pulsing or brachial plexus stimulation resulting in rhythmic arm twitching.

6. Sinus node dysfunction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinus_node_dysfunction

   Sinus node dysfunction (SND), also known as sick sinus syndrome (SSS), is a group of abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) usually caused by a malfunction of the sinus node, the heart's primary pacemaker. [1] [2] Tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome is a variant of sick sinus syndrome in which the arrhythmia alternates between fast and slow heart ...

7. Implant failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implant_failure

   Causes of pacemaker failure included: lead related failure (lead migration, lead fracture, ventricular perforation), unit malfunction (battery failure or component malfunction), problems at the insertion site (infections, tissue breakdown, battery pack migration), and failures related to exposure to high voltage electricity or high intensity ...

   Pacemakers are also sometimes used temporarily when someone is recovering from a heart attack or heart surgery, but in this case only the wires are inserted into the body; the pacemaker box stays ...

9. Artificial cardiac pacemaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_cardiac_pacemaker

   Dual-chamber pacemaker. Here, wires are placed in two chambers of the heart. One lead paces the atrium and one paces the ventricle. This type more closely resembles the natural pacing of the heart by assisting the heart in coordinating the function between the atria and ventricles. [10] Biventricular pacemaker. This pacemaker has three wires ...
