Description
Summary:Since the development of fracially coaled Iridium electrodes recordings of monophasic action potentials are possible. Intraoperative recordings of MAP from 15 pacemaker implantations were done after positioning the chronically implantabie pacemaker leads (Biotronik, Berlin, Germany) in the right ventricle by using five screw‐in electrodes and ten anchor electrodes. Intraoperative recordings of MAP are possible with all implanted pacemaker leads. The recordings of typical MAP signals were always accompanied with stable electrode positions and good sensing and pacing characteristics.
