The reason why this occurs is that AICDs and pacemakers are designed to sense the electrical activity of the heart. In the event a particular piece of equipment should mimic the activity of the heart, the pulse generator may be affected....

Deep brain stimulation (DBS), a surgery to implant electrodes in targeted areas within your brain. The electrodes are connected to a small device, called a pulse generator or neurostimulator, that is implanted under your skin, below your collarbone. Similar to a heart pacemaker, the device send...

If you have a pacemaker patient who absolutely has to have an MRI, the best approach is to probably program the pacemaker to a noninhibited mode, such as VOO or DOO, and avoid any MRIs of the abdomen or the chest; limit imaging to the extremities or to the head and neck. ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) represents the most common sustained arrhythmia that occurs in 0.3%–6% of the adult population and increasingly with age, and is therefore considered a large burden to the health care system because of direct and indirect costs due to morbidity and mortality rate [1–3...
A patient who had an atrial demand pacemaker (AAI) presented with irregular pacing at a routine examination 5 months after implantation. When a magnet was applied over the pulse generator regular fixed rate pacing was obtained, thus proving oversensing in the system. Reprogramming the input ...

There is no evidence that permanent pacemaker (PPM) therapy leads to a mortality benefit in patients with SND, but there can be clear improvements in symptoms and quality of life [4,5,6]. In contrast, patients with high-degree AVB have improved survival if treated with pacing therapy, when...
