Pacemaker Twiddler's Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
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 generator. After uncoiling the lead it was positioned in the right ventricular apex and the pulse generator implanted and sewed tightly in a smaller pocket. After six months follow-up there was no further twiddling or pacemaker dysfunction.Iran J Med Sci 2006; 31(1): 59-60. Keywords ● Twiddler's syndrome ● pacemaker ● syncopal attack

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...
متن کاملPacemaker syndrome: an iatrogenic condition.
Pacemaker syndrome was first described in 1969 by Mitsui when it was referred to as the pacemaking syndrome.' The name pacemaker syndrome was first coined by Erbel (using the German Schrittmacher syndrom) in 1979.2 It can present with symptoms as severe as syncope, presyncope, oedema, dyspnoea, and chest pain, or more moderately and subtly as lethargy, palpitation, or an awareness of venous pul...
متن کاملPacemaker 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 کاملPacemaker Induced Post Cardiac Injury Syndrome
Post pacemaker insertion pericarditis is a rare form of post cardiac injury syndrome. It is an inflammatory process involving the pericardium and/or pleura due to a recent cardiac injury. Post cardiac injury syndrome may develop after myocardial infarction (Dressler syndrome), cardiac surgery or trauma. However, in rare cases it can occur following minor cardiac procedures. We report a case of ...
