Abstract
A leadless pacemaker is a recently approved pacing technology that helps mitigate lead-related complications, but it has several limitations. Careful candidate selection is needed. Here, we demonstrate leadless pacing as the solution for prolonged postictal bradycardia/asystole; there is no consensus regarding pacemaker implantation for seizure patients with such a risk of sudden cardiac death.
