- Example six (dual chamber pacer)
Pacemaker system failure
- Pacemaker pacing failure and Mobitz II A/V block in a patient with a history of Torsade de Pointe and three degree heart block.

Trans-telephonic Audio recordings
- The EKG and sound of a Medtronic VVI.P pacemaker with the magnet applied near the end of the recording
- Recording of end of life indication with magnet applied to VVI pacemaker
- A pacemaker that required inversion of the programming head for programming. The pacemaker could not be programmed in the usual manner in the pacemaker clinic. The pacemaker was implanted correctly with the conducting window toward the skin, but was a left-sided model which differed from the previous x-ray outline of the right-sided model. Having to invert the programming head suggests a problem with the programming head, inverted implantation of the pacemaker, or because the pacemaker electronics are functioning as a contra-lateral pacemaker.
