A wandering pacemaker just means that the impetus for a beat of your heart is initiated at various sites. It could start in the AV node, which is normal, then move to another part of the heart for another beat to be initiated. This type of activity can result in arrhythmias or irregular heart rhythms. It can progress to be a serious condition and certainly bears watching by your cardiologist.

What happens if a person does not get a pacemaker who needs it?
Cardiac arrythmias.. Sometimes life threatening cardiac arrythmias. Inneficient cardiac out put and death.
What is the most characteristic feature of wandering atrial pacemaker?
The most characteristic feature of wandering atrial pacemaker is the variability in the P-wave morphology on the electrocardiogram (ECG). This occurs because the pacemaker activity shifts between different atrial sites, leading to P waves that have different shapes and intervals. Additionally, this arrhythmia typically presents with a normal heart rate, often between 60 to 100 beats per minute.
Is a life threatening?
It is not life threatening if it is minor.
What happens to p wave in wandering atrial pacemaker?
In a wandering atrial pacemaker, the P waves exhibit variability in their morphology and timing due to the shifting pacemaker site within the atria. As the dominant pacemaker location changes—often between the sinoatrial node and different atrial sites—the shape and orientation of the P waves can differ from one heartbeat to another. This results in a characteristic pattern on the electrocardiogram (ECG), where the P waves may appear different in size, shape, and direction. Overall, this phenomenon reflects the atrial electrical activity being initiated from multiple locations rather than a single, consistent pacemaker site.
