Abstract

In recent years, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has emerged as a frequently preferred method for the treatment of late-stage Parkinson's disease (PD). Both Parkinson's disease (PD) and cardiac disease rise with age. DBS and a cardiac pacemaker may be employed in the same patient. The objective of this case is to present both DBS and cardiac pacemaker in conjunction with the existing literature on the subject.
