Pacemaker syndrome is a condition that represents the clinical consequences of suboptimal atrioventricular (AV) synchrony or AV dyssynchrony, regardless of the pacing mode, after pacemaker implantation. [1] [2] It is an iatrogenic disease—an adverse effect resulting from medical treatment—that is often underdiagnosed.
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 longer because of this more complicated pacemaker system.
The primary reason for considering treatment is the presence of symptoms. [1] Pacemaker implantation is the primary treatment modality of symptomatic sinus node dysfunction. [5] [7] [8] The goal of this treatment modality is to relieve symptoms associated with sinus node dysfunction and improve quality of life. [5]
[5] [9] The treatment of the tachyarrhythmia depends on the specific arrhythmia, but possible treatment modalities include rate control, rhythm control with antiarrhythmic agents and cardioversion, radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation, or AV node ablation with permanent pacemaker implantation. [1]

Cardiac contractility modulation therapy aims to treat heart failure through a medium- to long-term treatment, over the course of weeks and months. [citation needed] According to large implanting clinics, after the implantation wound is healed, the lifestyle of a patient is not restricted by the implanted device. [34]
Arnold Schwarzenegger has become more like his iconic Terminator character after having surgery last week to receive a pacemaker, the 76-year-old actor and former California governor announced ...
Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT or CRT-P) is the insertion of electrodes in the left and right ventricles of the heart, as well as on occasion the right atrium, to treat heart failure by coordinating the function of the left and right ventricles via a pacemaker, a small device inserted into the anterior chest wall.
