  • Title: The cardiac pacemaker: functions, falterings, and fate.
    Author: Poulin FK, Harthorne JW.
    Journal: Geriatrics; 1980 Apr; 35(4):87-100. PubMed ID: 7358281.
    Abstract:
    No pacemaker problem is predictable enough to plan for, with the possible exception of battery failure, so follow-up surveillance is essential. Pacemaker malfunctions are generally either actual device malfunctions or adverse interactions between the pacer and the patient's body. Depletion of the power source is the most common event.
