Mechanical complication of cardiac electronic device - what does this mean

Mechanical complications of cardiac electronic devices occur when the device components become damaged or malfunction due to wear and tear, trauma, or poor device placement. this can lead to infection, device dislodgement, or device failure.

What happens during the disease - mechanical complication of cardiac electronic device

Mechanical complications of cardiac electronic devices are caused by the device itself, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, not functioning properly. this can be due to a malfunction of the device, incorrect placement, infection, or damage to the leads or generator. these complications can lead to device failure, device infection, or device displacement, which can cause arrhythmias, heart failure, stroke, or even death.
