    Background:

    • Cardiac pacemakers significantly reduce arrhythmia-related morbidity and mortality.
    • Pacemaker implantation carries risks, including lead complications and sensing failures.
    • Existing monitoring methods may not adequately detect all critical pacemaker malfunctions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel, cost-effective monitoring system for pacemakers.
    • To address the need for improved detection of specific pacemaker failure modes.
    • To enhance patient safety through early identification of device malfunction.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a straightforward monitoring system.
    • Implementation of algorithms to detect four distinct pacemaker failure states.
    • Validation of the system's efficacy in identifying common complications.

    Main Results:

    • The system successfully detects specific pacemaker failure states.
    • The monitoring approach is presented as inexpensive and easy to implement.
    • Identified failures include lead issues and sensing problems.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed monitoring system offers a practical solution for detecting pacemaker failures.
    • This technology has the potential to improve patient outcomes by enabling timely intervention.
    • Further research may explore broader applications and long-term performance.
