Popis: There are approximately 500,000 implanted cardiac pacemakers in the USA and another 100,000 are implanted each year [1]. In the emergency department, a physician may be faced with a pacemaker that is not functioning appropriately. To understand the ways in which a pacemaker can malfunction or lead to medical complications, first it is important to understand how pacemakers work when they do so appropriately.
