  • Title: Severe syncope due to the application of a pacemaker telemetry wand.
    Author: Preumont N, De Canniere D, Baroud I, Stoupel E.
    Journal: Acta Cardiol; 1996; 51(6):541-3. PubMed ID: 9124024.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a transient defective anodal contact between pacemaker ground plate and patient's tissues (the so-called dry pocket). During unipolar-DDD pacing, mild compression of the pocket with the telemetry head caused a severe syncope, due to asystole and secondary to complete loss of ventricular capture. Normal pacemaker function resumed with bipolar pacing configuration.
