“…Fractures of the sternum can occur as a result of chronic mechanical stress or acute traumatic force applied to the thoracic area. The device may incur damages from different factors, including exposure to moisture or high temperatures [ 21 24 , 35 ]. Software-related problems have the potential to cause malfunctions in cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs).…”

“… 20 In a more recent registry-based study including patients undergoing a pacemaker implantation for bradyarrhythmia syncope, the cumulative incidence of syncope recurrence was 15.6%, as well as 12.5% with restriction to patients with sinus node dysfunction. 22 Common causes were reflex syncope (30%) and orthostatic hypotension (32%). In the present study, the rate of syncope or presyncope was comparable with previous reports for patients randomized to DDDR-60 but it was markedly higher for patients randomized to DDD-40.…”

“…After PPM implantation, there remains a risk for syncope recurrence in bradyarrhythmic syncope patients including patients with syncope and BFB, with a recent study indicating 15.6% recurrence at 50 months follow-up [19]. The risk of syncope recurrence is highest for patients who underwent PPM placement for vasovagal syncope (26.4%) followed by patients with unexplained syncope and chronic BFB (21.5%) [19]. Overall, the most common cause of recurrence was reflex syncope (27.7%), followed by orthostatic hypotension (26.3%).…”

“…Overall, the most common cause of recurrence was reflex syncope (27.7%), followed by orthostatic hypotension (26.3%). However, in patients with PPM placement for syncope and BFB, 29.4% of recurrences remained unexplained while 26.5% of recurrences were due to reflex syncope [19]. The risk of recurrence mandates a discussion of risks and benefits, before PPM implantation for patients with syncope, first-degree AVB, and BFB.…”
