[The runaway phenomenon: an unexplained pacemaker dysfunction].
Of pacemaker malfunctions,1 runaway pacemaker events are infrequent electronic complications that present at any time in the life of the pacemaker.2-4 Described between 2 days and 9 years after implantation, they are life-threatening emergencies that can go undetected if they appear intermittently.5,6 Recently, we attended a 96 year-old woman with a VVIR Medtronic Minix-ST pacemaker implanted i...
متن کاملVentricular ectopic rhythms due to rapid runaway pacemaker.
A patient initially had syncope due to a runaway pacemaker firing at an unusually rapid rate (30 impulses per second). The ventricular arrhythmia was characterized by numerous ectopic beats, with coupling intervals related to the length of the preceding cycle and runs of ventricular tachycardia with slight variations in the intervals between beats. This case demonstrates the clinical characteri...
متن کاملRunaway pacemaker rhythm after 36 hours of electrical inactivity.
With the widespread application of permanent cardiac pacing, many publications have described bizarre manifestations of pacemaker failure including cases of life-threatening tachyarrhythmias induced by the pacemaker (Costeas et al., I965; Robinson et al., I965; Wisoff, Gabor, and Donoso, I965; Wallace, Abelmann, and Norman, 1970; Barold, I973). The purpose of this communication is to report the...
متن کاملPacemaker 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 کاملReport of a Case of Pacemaker Depletion Presenting with Wide QRS Tachycardia Geniş QRS Taşikardi ile Başvuran Kalp Pilinin Tükenmesi: Runaway Pacemaker
Runaway pacemaker results from pacemaker malfunction and is characterized by sudden increases in the stimulus rate above the set upper rate limit of the pacemaker. Here we report the case of a patient with wide QRS complex tachycardia who was admitted to the emergency unit and diagnosed with runaway pacemaker.
