Pacemaker failure is the inability of an implanted artificial pacemaker to perform its intended function of regulating the beating of the heart. It is defined by the requirement of repeat surgical pacemaker-related procedure after the initial implantation. A study of pacemaker failure in Oregon in the 1970s indicates that 10% of implanted pacemakers failed within the first month.
