2. Pacemaker failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacemaker_failure

   Pacemaker failure is the inability of an implanted artificial pacemaker to perform its intended function of regulating the beating of the heart. A pacemaker uses electrical impulses delivered by electrodes in order to contract the heart muscles. [ 1 ]

3. Pacemaker syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacemaker_syndrome

   [1] [3] In general, the symptoms of the syndrome are a combination of decreased cardiac output, loss of atrial contribution to ventricular filling, loss of total peripheral resistance response, and nonphysiologic pressure waves. [2] [4] [5] Individuals with a low heart rate prior to pacemaker implantation are more at risk of developing ...

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. [1]

5. Third-degree atrioventricular block - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-degree_atrio...

   Third-degree atrioventricular block (AV block) is a medical condition in which the electrical impulse generated in the sinoatrial node (SA node) in the atrium of the heart can not propagate to the ventricles. [1] Because the impulse is blocked, an accessory pacemaker in the lower chambers will typically activate the ventricles.

6. Artificial cardiac pacemaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_cardiac_pacemaker

   Percussive pacing, also known as transthoracic mechanical pacing, is the use of the closed fist, usually on the left lower edge of the sternum over the right ventricle in the vena cava, striking from a distance of 20 – 30 cm to induce a ventricular beat (the British Journal of Anaesthesia suggests this must be done to raise the ventricular pressure to 10–15 mmHg to induce electrical activity).
