Erosive Pressure Dermatitis Associated with Cardiac Pacemaker
Erosive dermatitis is a skin reaction associated with implantable cardiac devices (ie, pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators). We report a 65-year-old man with a history of several cerebrovascular attacks who developed an erythematous crusted erosive patch over the pacemaker site after implantation of two subsequent pacemakers. We suggest that physical irritation may be a trigger factor fo...
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 کامل[Artificial cardiac pacemaker: pre and intraoperative considerations.].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Technological medical diagnosis advances in cardiology have markedly increased indications for temporary or permanent artificial cardiac pacemakers (PM). This means that, in addition to cardiologists, other specialists have become involved in the handling of these devices. When PM patients undergo surgery, anesthesiologists participation may be decisive for the success...
متن کاملOn the Evolution of the Cardiac Pacemaker
The rhythmic contraction of the heart is initiated and controlled by an intrinsic pacemaker system. Cardiac contractions commence at very early embryonic stages and coordination remains crucial for survival. The underlying molecular mechanisms of pacemaker cell development and function are still not fully understood. Heart form and function show high evolutionary conservation. Even in simple co...
متن کاملInfective endocarditis and the pacemaker: cardiac implantable electronic device infection.
We are seeing more implantation of cardiac device such as pacemakers and defibrillators and also cardiac implantable electronic device infection. The infection may affect just the pocket site or progress to deeper infection and bacteraemia. Inadequately treated infection may lead to right sided endocarditis, cardiotomy for pacemaker explantation and increased cost and length of stay in the hosp...
