title: [The so-called pacemaker twiddler's syndrome in pervenously implanted pacing systems (author's transl)].
abstract: Eight own cases of the so-called pacemaker twiddler's syndrome in pervenously implanted pacemaker-electrode-systems are reported.

Furthermore preconditions, therapy, and steps that will have been taken to prevent a pacemaker twiddler's syndrome are discussed.
