A leadless pacemaker (LP) is a modern alternative to a transvenous pacemaker, allowing certain complications to be avoided; however, some cannot be eliminated. To highlight the essential role of advanced speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) in diagnosing pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) caused by an LP. A 79-year-old male, after LP implantation a year earlier, was admitted due to heart failure (HF).

Division of Pediatric Cardiology and Adult Congenital Cardiology, UC Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, USA. Electronic address:

Introduction: There is no prior report of an Aveir leadless pacemaker implantation into the atrial appendage via the internal jugular vein.

Case: A 44-year-old female patient with history of multiple ablations for sinus node dysfunction presented with symptomatic bradycardia. The patient had femoral veins <9mm, chronic pain at the femoral vein insertion sites, as well as a recent car accident with persistent leg pain due to femoral fractures.

Conduction disturbances following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) sometimes require permanent pacemaker implantation. However, little is known about the pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) in leadless pacemaker (LP) after TAVR. Here we present a case of heart failure due to PICM 6 months after TAVR which was successfully treated with LOT-CRT upgrade.

Background: The Micra leadless pacemaker (MLP) has been demonstrated to be safe and effective as a substitute for conventional transvenous ventricular pacemakers (TVP). However, its application in the general population is still restricted. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the safety and efficacy of MLP.
