[17] [18] [19] The name pacemaker syndrome was first coined by Erbel in 1979. [18] [20] Since its first discovery, there have been many definitions of pacemaker syndrome, and the understanding of the cause of pacemaker syndrome is still under investigation. In a general sense, pacemaker syndrome can be defined as the symptoms associated with ...

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.

Cancer-related pain can be caused by metastases, the tumour itself, inflamed or eroding bone viscera or nerves, or pain related to cancer treatments. [15] The term “cancer-related pain” only indicates that pain is related to cancer and does not imply the exact cause of the pain. [16]
A Micro-dislodgement is a minimal displacement in the lead that is not visible in a chest X-ray, but has the ability to increase the capture threshold and eventually cause a loss of capture. [5] Lead dislodgement can cause sensing failure, which occurs when proper atrial or ventricular sensing is not achieved by the programming of the pacemaker.

An ectopic pacemaker located in the atria is known as an atrial pacemaker and can cause the atrial contraction to be faster. [10] An ectopic pacemaker situated near the AV node and the septum is known as a junctional pacemaker. [11] The pacemaker that is operating in the ventricles is known as the ventricular. [12]
