Abstract:
Cardiac strangulation is a rare but potentially lethal complication of epicardial pacemaker insertion. We present the case of a 9-year-old girl who was identified as having cardiac strangulation on routine follow-up for an epicardial pacemaker inserted on day 1 of life for congenital complete heart block (CCHB). The potential clinical presentations and risk factors for pacemaker strangulation are then discussed.

Cardiac Action Potential
The cardiac action potential process involves a series of phases characterized by the movement of ions across the cardiac cell membranes, leading to the depolarization and repolarization of the cardiac myocytes.
