Runaway Pacemaker Syndrome and Intermittent Nonoutput as Manifestations of End of Life of a VVI Pacemaker

A case of a runaway pacemaker with intermittent nonoutput failure of a VVI Intermedics pacemaker is presented. This is the first report of such a phenomenon in that type of pacemaker with no apparent reason other than approaching battery end‐of‐life. The reported case warrants a close follow‐up of p...

Zusammenfassung:A case of a runaway pacemaker with intermittent nonoutput failure of a VVI Intermedics pacemaker is presented. This is the first report of such a phenomenon in that type of pacemaker with no apparent reason other than approaching battery end‐of‐life. The reported case warrants a close follow‐up of patients with the same type of device.
