Patient-reported ICD generator rotation warrants prompt evaluation; leaves open whether proactive monitoring prevents Twiddler's syndrome complications.
Case Report (n=1)
Patient complaints of ICD generator rotation can facilitate early detection of Twiddler's syndrome before serious device malfunction occurs.
Konishi et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Twiddler's syndrome (n=1). Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was evaluated on Detection of Twiddler's syndrome. Twiddler's syndrome can be detected prior to serious implantable cardioverter-defibrillator malfunction based on a patient's complaint of generator rotation in the subcutaneous pocket.
