Pacemaker• A pacemaker is a battery-powered device
about the size of a pocket watch that sends weak electrical impulses to “set a pace” so that the heart is able to maintain a regular heartbeat.

Anatomy & Physiology of Pacemaker
![Page 5: Cardiology for Dr. Pelaez By Sai Kumar Reddy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816728550346895ddbc359/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Types of Pacemakers
• Single-chamber pacemakers stimulate one chamber of the heart, either an atrium or more often a ventricle.
• Dual-chamber pacemakers send electrical impulses to both the atrium and the ventricle and pace both chambers. A dual-chamber pacemaker synchronizes the rhythm of the atria and ventricles in a pattern that closely resembles the natural heartbeat.

Indications for Pacemaker
• Absolute indications– Sick sinus syndrome– Symptomatic sinus bradycardia– Tachy-brady syndrome– Afib with slow ventricular response– 3rd degree heart block– Chronotropic incompetence• Inability to increase heart rate to match exercise
– Prolonged QT syndrome
![Page 8: Cardiology for Dr. Pelaez By Sai Kumar Reddy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816728550346895ddbc359/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
I
Relative indications are:– Cardiomyopathy• Dilated• Hypertrophic
– Severe refractory neurocardiogenic syncope– Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
![Page 9: Cardiology for Dr. Pelaez By Sai Kumar Reddy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816728550346895ddbc359/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Pacemaker defects
• EKG abnormalities due to– Failure to output– Failure to capture– Sensing abnormalities– Operative failures
![Page 10: Cardiology for Dr. Pelaez By Sai Kumar Reddy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816728550346895ddbc359/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pacemaker Failure to Output
• Definition– No pacing spike present despite indication to pace
• Etiology– Battery failure, lead fracture, break in lead
insulation, oversensing, poor lead connection.• Atrial output is sensed by ventricular lead
![Page 11: Cardiology for Dr. Pelaez By Sai Kumar Reddy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816728550346895ddbc359/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pacemaker Failure to Capture
• Definition– Pacing spike is not followed by either an atrial or
ventricular complex• Etiology– Lead fracture or dislodgement, break in lead
insulation, elevated pacing threshold, MI at lead tip, drugs, metabolic abnormalities, cardiac perforation, poor lead connection
![Page 12: Cardiology for Dr. Pelaez By Sai Kumar Reddy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816728550346895ddbc359/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pacemaker Sensing Abnormalities
• Oversensing– Senses noncardiac electrical activity and is inhibited
from correctly pacing– Etiology
• Muscular activity (diaphragm or pecs), EMI, cell phone held within 10cm of pulse generator
• Undersensing– Incorrectly misses intrinsic depolarization and paces– Etiology
• Poor lead positioning, lead dislodgement, magnet application, low battery states, MI
![Page 13: Cardiology for Dr. Pelaez By Sai Kumar Reddy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816728550346895ddbc359/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pacemaker Complications
• Pacemaker syndrome– Patient feels worse after pacemaker placement– Presents with progressive worsening of CHF
symptoms– Due to loss of atrioventricular synchrony, pathway
now reversed and ventricular origin of beat
![Page 14: Cardiology for Dr. Pelaez By Sai Kumar Reddy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816728550346895ddbc359/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pacemaker Operative Failures
• Due to pacemaker placement– Pneumothorax– Pericarditis– Perforated atrium or ventricle– Dislodgement of leads– Infection or erosion of pacemaker pocket– Infective endocarditis (rare)– Venous thrombosis
![Page 15: Cardiology for Dr. Pelaez By Sai Kumar Reddy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816728550346895ddbc359/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Electromagnetic Interference
• Can interfere with function of pacemaker • Device misinterprets the EMI causing– Rate alteration– Sensing abnormalities– Asynchronous pacing– Noise reversion– Reprogramming

Electromagnetic Interference
• Examples– Metal detectors– Cell phones– High voltage power lines– Some home appliances (microwave)
![Page 17: Cardiology for Dr. Pelaez By Sai Kumar Reddy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816728550346895ddbc359/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Caution
• If you have a pacemaker, you are not supposed to have an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) test.
![Page 18: Cardiology for Dr. Pelaez By Sai Kumar Reddy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816728550346895ddbc359/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Advancement of Technology in Medicine
• Newer pacemakers also can monitor your blood temperature, breathing, and other factors and adjust your heart rate to changes in your activity.
