Living with a pacemaker: Patient-reported outcome of a pacemaker system
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders Jun 14, 2018
Magnusson P, et al. - Researchers examined cases at a single center who had a pacemaker implant or replacement between 2006 and 2016 to assess patient-reported satisfaction with the pacemaker system, including pain, soreness/discomfort, cosmetic results, restrictions due to impaired movement of the shoulder/arm/chest, related sleep disturbances, and concern about possible device malfunction. Excellent overall satisfaction was reported by a vast majority of patients, with no impact of pain, soreness/discomfort, or concern about device malfunction. Furthermore, cosmetic results, shoulder movement, and sleep were favorably influenced. However, surgical correction of the pacemaker pocket was performed in some patients.
