Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, pacemakers are set to kick in on a set minimum heart rate mostly between between 70-80 and if heart is pacing at its own, pacemaker doesn't pace, naturally. Serum electrolytes and TSH levels may be done to look for any metabolic cause.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
