AI Summary & Key Takeaways

AI Insight
⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

As the number of implantable devices increases in the population, cardiologists should be aware of this complication.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Reel syndrome is an uncommon condition in which a pacemaker malfunctions owing to transverse rotation of the pulse generator and resultant lead displacement.
📊
Key Findings & Data:In this case report, we present a patient complaining about reflex involuntary left upper extremity jerks, which is consistent with Reel syndrome.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:As the number of implantable devices increases in the population, cardiologists should be aware of this complication.

Özet

Reel syndrome is an uncommon condition in which a pacemaker malfunctions owing to transverse rotation of the pulse generator and resultant lead displacement. In this case report, we present a patient complaining about reflex involuntary left upper extremity jerks, which is consistent with Reel syndrome. As the number of implantable devices increases in the population, cardiologists should be aware of this complication.
