Pacemaker Syndrome

Key Points: Pacemaker syndrome is a hemodynamic problem caused by loss of proper atrioventricular (AV) synchrony. Most commonly occurs with ventricular pacing that produces retrograde atrial activation, but can also…

Occlusion MI in Ventricular Paced Rhythms: STEMI Equivalent Pattern

Key Points: Ventricular paced rhythms can mask acute coronary occlusion. Pacing alters depolarization and produces expected secondary ST-T abnormalities, so standard STEMI criteria are unreliable. Appropriate discordance is expected in…

Ventricular Paced Rhythms

Key Points: Ventricular pacing changes depolarization and repolarization, so ST-T segments often look abnormal. In most paced rhythms, some discordant ST deviation is expected and should not be mistaken for…

Pacemakers: Basics

Key Points: Pacemakers treat bradyarrhythmias by delivering timed atrial, ventricular, or dual-chamber pacing when intrinsic activity is slow or absent. Know the major device types encountered in the ED: single-chamber,…

Pacemaker & ICD Emergencies

Key Points: Three primary pacemaker malfunctions: Failure to pace – no pacing spike when one is needed. Failure to capture – pacing spike appears but no depolarization follows. Failure to…
