Anatomy, histology, and pathology of coronary arteries: a review relevant to new interventional and imaging techniques--Part III.

abstract：:The pacemaker syndrome refers to symptoms and signs in the pacemaker patient caused by inadequate timing of atrial and ventricular contractions. The lack of normal atrioventricular synchrony may result in decreased cardiac output and venous "cannon A waves." A sudden increase in atrial pressure at the onset of asynchr...
