Article Synopsis
- Implantable permanent pacemakers typically function for 8.8-12.4 years, but this case highlights a VVI pacemaker that has performed well for an impressive 40 years post-implantation.
- Recent tests showed that the pacemaker continues to work normally, with specific metrics indicating a steady heart rate and a high percentage of paced beats without malfunction.
- The findings suggest that ongoing manufacturer focus on increasing energy capacity in future devices could enhance longevity for patients with implantable pacemakers.
