    AbstractIn summary, the present examples illustrate how pacemaker malfunction can be simulated by the sources of artifact produced or detected by the monitoring equipment. This form of pseudopacemaker malfunction remains a common cause of mistaken diagnosis of pacemaker malfunction. A thorough understanding of the examples outlined above should help distinguish true pacemaker malfunction from pseudopacemaker malfunction produced by artifact.
