Abstract

Eight own cases of the so-called pacemaker twiddler's syndrome in pervenously implanted pacemaker-electrode-systems are reported. A scheme to classify that syndrome is proposed mentioning the grade of distinction and mechanism. Furthermore preconditions, therapy, and steps that will have been taken to prevent a pacemaker twiddler's syndrome are discussed.
