Abstract
Troubleshooting after pacemaker implantation is the task of both the cardiac physiologist and the cardiologist. It is a process which begins at the time of implantation and should be readdressed not only if the patient re-presents with ongoing or new symptoms post-implant, but also at every routine follow-up appointment. Adherence to these rules not only promotes safe and effective pacemaker function, but also serves to increase device longevity and reduce the adverse effects of unnecessary or inappropriate cardiac pacing.
