A Case of Transient Rise of Pacing Threshold during the Chronic Phase of Pacemaker Implantation
We experienced a case of pacing failure with transient rise of the pacing threshold more than one year after implantation. Neither the generator nor lead system was found to be defective. During the antibiotics therapy to treat cholecystitis, which was found on admission, pacing failure was improved...

| description | We experienced a case of pacing failure with transient rise of the pacing threshold more than one year after implantation. Neither the generator nor lead system was found to be defective. During the antibiotics therapy to treat cholecystitis, which was found on admission, pacing failure was improved. The clinical course suggested that the infection was related to the improvement, although accurate mechanisms were unknown. |
