Article Synopsis
- Nonspecific chest pain in patients with heart devices, like pacemakers, should make doctors think about possible issues with the device, even if tests look normal.
- A 77-year-old woman had chest pain a year after getting her pacemaker, which turned out to be due to a serious problem with the device's lead.
- It's important for doctors and patients to be aware that problems with heart devices can happen long after they are put in, so any unusual pain should be checked out carefully.
