Abstract

A 75-year-old man presented to our department with a complaint of recurrent syncope episodes seven years after dual chamber pacemaker implantation due to complete atrioventricular block. His electrocardiogram obtained on presentation showed a normal dual-chamber pacemaker rhythm. The chest X-ray and pacemaker interrogation did not show any lead fracture or dysfunction. Twenty-four hour Holter monitoring revealed periods of failure to pacing. Superficial maneuvers over the skin resulted in an excessive increase in the ventricular lead impedance and pacing failure. The clinical course of the patient was uneventful after implantation of a new electrode to the right ventricular apex.

Özet

Atriyoventriküler tam blok nedeniyle iki odacıklı kalp pili takılan 75 yaşındaki erkek hasta tekrarlayan bayılma yakınması ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Başvuru sırasındaki elektrokardiyogramda normal, iki odacıklı kalp pili ritmi izlendi. Göğüs grafisi ve kalp pili değerlendirmesi ile yedi yıllık elektrotta kırık veya işlev bozukluğu saptanmadı. Yirmi dört saatlik Holter izleminde ise kalıcı kalp pilinin zaman zaman devreye girmediği görüldü. Deri üzerinden yapılan yüzeyel manevralar sırasında ventrikül elektrot empedansında aşırı artış ile birlikte kalp pilinin uyarı vermediği saptandı. Sağ ventrikül apeksine yeni bir elektrodun yerleştirilmesi sonrasında hastanın klinik durumu düzeldi.
