Noninvasive Control of the Early Postimplantation Period

Modern programmable pacemakers often incorporate features that allow one to perform a series of diagnostic maneuvers to aid in postimplantation surveillance. These features often include noninvasive measurements of thresholds, lead impedance, and intracardiac electrogram recognition via telemetry ci...

Description
Summary:Modern programmable pacemakers often incorporate features that allow one to perform a series of diagnostic maneuvers to aid in postimplantation surveillance. These features often include noninvasive measurements of thresholds, lead impedance, and intracardiac electrogram recognition via telemetry circuits. Interindividual differences in these measurements are so great that one must utilize individual comparisons for longitudinal studies of reliability. While these devices allow “fine tuning” of individual units, they require major time‐consuming efforts and add to the total device costs.
