    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Devices
    • Patient Safety

    Background:

    • Permanent pacemaker implantation is a common procedure for cardiac rhythm management.
    • Pacemaker Twiddler's syndrome is a rare but recognized complication.
    • Device malfunction can lead to significant patient morbidity.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with dizziness following recent permanent pacemaker implantation.
    • The patient's symptoms were attributed to the failure of the endomyocardial pacemaker system.
    • Diagnostic investigations included electrocardiography and X-ray.

    Findings:

    • Electrocardiographic and X-ray findings were consistent with pacemaker lead displacement.
    • Intraoperative assessment confirmed the diagnosis of Twiddler's syndrome.
