Symptoms
No specific set of criteria has been developed for diagnosis of pacemaker syndrome. Most of the signs and symptoms of pacemaker syndrome are nonspecific, and many are prevalent in the elderly population at baseline. In the lab, pacemaker interrogation plays a crucial role in determining if the pacemaker mode had any contribution to symptoms.[1][2]
Symptoms commonly documented in patients history, include:[3][4][1][5][6]
- Neurological - Dizziness, near syncope,seizure, mental status change and confusion.
- Heart failure - Dyspnea, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, and edema.
- Low cardiac output - Fatigue, weakness, dyspnea on exertion, lethargy, and lightheadedness.
- Right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain
- Headache
- Heart rate related - Palpitations associated with arrhythmias
