Remote monitoring doesn’t always detect catastrophic pacemaker failure (IMAGE)
Caption
A: Baseline electrocardiogram of the patient in case 2 demonstrating sinus rhythm with right ventricular pacing. B: The presentation electrocardiogram of the patient in case 2 with pacemaker failure demonstrating sinus rhythm with first-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, sinus pauses, and intermittent second-degree AV block with failure to sense and pace the pacemaker. C: The available pacemaker diagnostics highlighting the abrupt battery failure occurring between July 1 and July 10 with lack of capture of the battery failure from July 1 to July 10 by remote monitoring.
