Differentiating Pacemaker syndrome from other Diseases
Patients with pacemaker syndrome present with varied symptoms resulting from dyssynchrony between atria and ventricles.
Major presenting symptoms include:
- Dyspnea
- Edema
- Symptoms of low cardiac output like weakness, fatigue, lightheadedness and dyspnea on exertion
Pacemaker syndrome should be differentiated from the following diseases:
- If patient had implanted ventricular pacemaker and develops new neurological or cardiovascular symptoms, consider Pacemaker Syndrome as a differential diagnosis.
- Acute coronary syndrome
- Failed pacemaker
- Hypothyroidism
- Cardiogenic pulmonary edema
- Arrhythmias (especially supraventricular tachycardias)
- Hyperthyroidism
- Pulmonary embolism
- Carotid sinus hypersensitivity
