Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patients with pacemaker syndrome can present with a range of symptoms including signs of shock, abnormal pulse pressures, and jugular venous distention with cannon waves due to the pacemaker depolarizing the atria and ventricles simultaneously or causing AV dyssynchrony. Twiddler syndrome involves the pacemaker lead twisting or dislodging, pacemaker malfunction refers to various technical issues with the device, and undersensing syndrome refers to failure of the pacemaker to detect cardiac electrical activity. None of these are likely to cause the specific symptoms described in the question.
