[The pacemaker syndrome: an overlooked complication?].
The pacemaker syndrome is a frequently occurring and frequently overlooked syndrome which can, as a rule, be treated. The diagnosis is often overlooked on account of the diffuse symptoms together with the frequency of symptoms in elderly patients. The temporal connection with VVI pacing is often, but not always, helpful in establishing the diagnosis. Three case histories with various manifestations of the syndrome are reviewed.
