| Pacemaker syndrome is a disease that represents the clinical consequences of suboptimal [[Atrioventricular node|atrioventricular]] (AV) synchrony or AV dyssynchrony, regardless of the pacing mode, after the [[Artificial pacemaker#Insertion|pacemaker plantation]].<ref name="pmid9164889">{{cite journal |author=Ellenbogen KA, Gilligan DM, Wood MA, Morillo C, Barold SS |title=The pacemaker syndrome -- a matter of definition |journal=Am.

| Individuals with a low heart rate prior to [[pacemaker]] implantation are more at risk of developing pacemaker syndrome. Normally the first chamber of the heart ([[atrium]]) contracts as the second chamber (ventricle) is relaxed, allowing the ventricle to fill before it contracts and pumps blood out of the heart. When the timing between the two chambers goes out of synchronization, less [[blood]] is delivered on each beat. Patients who develop pacemaker syndrome may require adjustment of the pacemaker timing, or another lead fitted to regulate the timing of the chambers separately.

| *In the [[implant (medicine)|preimplantation]] period, two variables are predicted to predispose to the syndrome. First is low [[sinus node|sinus rate]], and second is a higher programmed lower rate limit. In [[implant (medicine)|postimplantation]], an increased percentage of [[ventricle (heart)|ventricular]] paced beats is the only variable that significantly predicts development of pacemaker syndrome.<ref name="pmid2032410"/>

| *Patients with intact [[VA conduction]] are at greater risk for developing pacemaker syndrome. Around 90% of patients with preserved AV conduction have intact [[VA conduction]], and about 30-40% of patients with complete [[Atrioventricular block|AV block]] have preserved [[VA conduction]]. Intact [[VA conduction]] may not be apparent at the time of pacemaker implantation or even may develop at any time after implantation.<ref name="pmid12555483" /><ref name="pmid7511223"/><ref name="pmid2032410"/><ref name="pmid1704534">{{cite journal |author=Heldman D, Mulvihill D, Nguyen H, ''et al.'' |title=True incidence of pacemaker syndrome |journal=Pacing Clin Electrophysiol |volume=13 |issue=12 Pt 2 |pages=1742–50 |year=1990 |month=December |pmid=1704534 |doi=10.1111/j.1540-8159.1990.tb06883.x }}</ref>

| *Patients with noncompliant [[ventricle (heart)|ventricles]] and [[diastolic]] dysfunction are particularly sensitive to loss of [[atrial]] contribution to ventricular filling, where that highly increase the chance of developing the syndrome. This includes patients with [[cardiomyopathy]] ([[hypertensive cardiomyopathy|hypertensive]], [[hypertrophic cardiomyopathy|hypertrophic]], [[restrictive cardiomyopathy|restrictive]]) and elderly individuals.<ref name="pmid7511223"/><ref name="pmid2316455"/><ref name="pmid2032410"/><ref name="pmid1442632"/>

|
| *Other factors correlated with development of pacemaker syndrome include decreased [[stroke volume]], decreased [[cardiac output]], and decreased [[left atrium|left atrial]] total emptying fraction associated with [[ventricle (heart)|ventricular]] pacing.<ref name="pmid7511223"/><ref name="pmid2032410"/>
