Key result
Early detection and tailored pacemaker algorithm adjustments prevent or terminate pacemaker-mediated arrhythmias.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of pacemaker-mediated arrhythmias, emphasizing the importance of early detection and optimal pacemaker programming for prevention and termination.
Supports tailored pacemaker settings in routine care; leaves open standardized approaches pending higher-level evidence.
Pacemakers can be directly involved in initiating or sustaining different forms of arrhythmia. These can cause symptoms such as dyspnea, palpitations, and decompensated heart failure. Early detection of these arrhythmias and optimal pacemaker programming is pivotal. The aim of this review article is to summarize the different types of pacemaker-mediated arrhythmias, their predisposing factors, and mechanisms of prevention or termination.

Alasti et al. (2018) conducted a review in Pacemaker-mediated arrhythmias. Pacemaker programming and algorithms was evaluated. Pacemaker-mediated arrhythmias can be prevented or terminated through early detection and appropriate modification of pacemaker settings and algorithms.
