Implantable demand pacemaker.
Adams-Stokes seizures can occur in patients with intermittent complete A-V block. The history of a single Adams-Stokes syncopal attack is an indication for intracardiac pacing. Fixed rate pacemakers employed in the presence of intermittent varying degrees of A-V block and sinus rhythm result in recurrent co-acting rhythms of artificial and natural beats (Linenthal and Zoll, 1962). This arrhythm...
متن کاملEctopic positioning of pacemaker electrode.
The present case reports on a patient presenting the cardiac form of Chagas disease, with left ventricular dysfunction and second-degree atrioventricular block Mobitz type II, associated with several syncope episodes. The patient underwent a double-chamber definitive artificial pacemaker implant. One year after the implant, the displacement of the atrial electrode was diagnosed and the patient ...
متن کاملA report on an implantable electronic cardiac pacemaker.
The cardiac pacemaker, although comparatively new, is no longer in an experimental stage. It is now in the armamentarium of medical men and surgeons concerned with treating complete heart-block with Stokes-Adams seizures. Four or five years ago, when the need for such a device became obvious, several centers started working on different types of pacemakers that were reported almost simultaneous...
متن کاملFaulty design resulting in temporary pacemaker failure.
A 77-year-old man became asystolic 3 days after aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass surgery. A dual-chamber temporary pacemaker generator was turned on but failed to discharge; instead, an obscure error message appeared on the liquid crystal display of the pacemaker. The intensive-care nurses and physicians were unable to activate the pacemaker. We describe the pacemaker design ...
