Arm movements may trigger unintended rate acceleration in respiratory-dependent pacemakers; this case report leaves open mitigation via programming or electrode placement.
Do arm movements affect the pacing rate of respiratory dependent rate responsive pacemakers?
Arm movements can cause unintended rate acceleration in respiratory dependent rate responsive pacemakers due to electrode motion artifacts affecting impedance measurements, which should be considered during programming.
LAU et al. (1988) studied this question.
