“…New murmurs called pacemaker sounds can occur after these difficult implantations. 13,14 While 3 of reported cases in the literature had a murmur originating from tricuspid valve after implantation, in our case there was no murmur after implantation. The unique characteristic of our case is that the diagnosis and successful surgical repair were performed while the patient was alive, although there was extreme delay in the diagnosis.…”

We report a case of systolic and diastolic musical murmurs that developed 4 years after DDD pacemaker implantation. Echocardiographic examination disclosed no evidence of serious pacemaker-related complications. Pulsed Doppler examination with a sample volume at the right ventricular portion of a pacemaker lead showed prominent harmonic signals. The timing of the signals was consistent with that of musical murmurs. We considered vibration of the pacemaker lead as a possible origin of the musical murmurs. Systolic and diastolic musical murmurs can develop without serious cause in a patient with a transvenous pacemaker. Pulsed Doppler examination was useful in detecting the origin of musical murmurs.
