Pacemaker 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...

متن کاملSecondary causes of restless legs syndrome in older people.
BACKGROUND Secondary causes of restless legs syndrome (RLS) have been reported to be more common in those with late-onset RLS. However, 'late-onset' in previous studies was defined as onset after 45 years. OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of secondary causes of RLS and the relationship between aetiological factors and age of symptom onset in an older population. DESIGN Prospective stud...
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...
