2. Pacemaker failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacemaker_failure

   A pacemaker uses electrical impulses delivered by electrodes in order to contract the heart muscles. [1] Failure of a pacemaker is defined by the requirement of repeat surgical pacemaker-related procedures after the initial implantation. Most implanted pacemakers are dual chambered and have two leads, causing the implantation time to take ...

3. Pacemaker syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacemaker_syndrome

   Individuals with a low heart rate prior to pacemaker implantation are more at risk of developing pacemaker syndrome. Normally the first chamber of the heart (atrium) contracts as the second chamber (ventricle) is relaxed, allowing the ventricle to fill before it contracts and pumps blood out of the heart.

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.

7. Artificial cardiac pacemaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_cardiac_pacemaker

   Each pulse causes the targeted chamber(s) to contract and pump blood, [3] thus regulating the function of the electrical conduction system of the heart. The primary purpose of a pacemaker is to maintain an even heart rate, either because the heart's natural cardiac pacemaker provides an inadequate or irregular heartbeat, or because there is a ...

8. Postpericardiotomy syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postpericardiotomy_syndrome

   PPS can also be caused after a trauma, a puncture of the cardiac or pleural structures (such as a bullet or stab wound), after percutaneous coronary intervention (such as stent placement after a myocardial infarction or heart attack), or due to pacemaker or pacemaker wire placement.
