7. PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

Physicians should consider the following points in counseling the patient about this device:

― Provide patient with (temporary) pacemaker ID card – inform them that a permanent ID

card will be issued by the pacemaker manufacturer.

― Need to notify other health care providers (e.g., dentist, physical therapist,

anesthesiologist, surgeon, etc.) of the presence and type of pacemaker.

― Symptoms of pacemaker syndrome.

― Twiddler’s syndrome and its consequences.
