Pacemakers are common and complex devices. This review covers pacemaker function and common issues emergency physicians may encounter, aiding in patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Implantable pacemakers have evolved significantly over 50 years.
  • Approximately 1 million individuals in the US have pacemakers, with numbers projected to rise due to an aging population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the fundamental principles of pacemaker function.
  • To outline common cardiac rhythm disturbances and clinical syndromes relevant to emergency physicians.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of pacemaker technology and clinical presentations.
  • Synthesis of information on pacemaker function and associated emergency conditions.

Main Results:

  • Pacemaker technology has advanced, leading to increased complexity.
  • Emergency physicians must be aware of various pacemaker-related issues.
