Is it a typical crosstalk: Need for re-implantation?

Abstract With constantly evolving technology and an ever-increasing number of patients with pacemakers, clinicians will encounter various pacemaker malfunctions in their practice. While some of these issues can be solved even by using only the pacemaker׳s mode settings, others require re-interventio...

Description
Summary:Abstract With constantly evolving technology and an ever-increasing number of patients with pacemakers, clinicians will encounter various pacemaker malfunctions in their practice. While some of these issues can be solved even by using only the pacemaker׳s mode settings, others require re-intervention; neglecting a pacemaker׳s malfunction without full investigation threatens the patient׳s life. In this report, we describe a patient with a dual-chamber pacemaker with neglected or unresolved dyssynchronization that occurred 2 years after implantation.
