Pacemaker Twiddler's Syndrome
A 76-yr-old man with unipolar ventricular pacemaker, previously implanted in the right ventricular apex, presented with syncopal attack and twitching of the right pectoralis muscle. He finally was diagnosed as having Twiddler's syndrome. The patient had a pulse rate of 36/min and cannon waves in the neck veins. Chest radiography showed a dislodged pacing lead completely wrapped around the pulse...

متن کاملNew Concepts in Pacemaker Syndrome
After implantation of a permanent pacemaker, patients may experience severe symptoms of dyspnea, palpitations, malaise, and syncope resulting from pacemaker syndrome. Although pacemaker syndrome is most often ascribed to the loss of atrioventricular (A-V) synchrony, more recent data may also implicate left ventricular dysynchrony caused by right ventricular pacing. Previous studies have not sho...
متن کاملPacemaker syndrome: an iatrogenic condition.

متن کاملPacemaker syndrome in older people.
Pacemaker syndrome arises from adverse electrophysiological and haemodynamic consequences of pacing— in particular ventricular pacing—despite normal pacemaker function [1, 2]. The symptoms are diverse, ranging from breathlessness, syncope, palpitations, neck pressure, dizziness and flushing to more vague symptoms of lethargy and impaired exercise tolerance. Clinical signs include cannon ‘a’ wav...
