Ventricular Pacing Redundancy to Prevent Loss of Capture: A Fail-safe for Pacemaker-Dependent Patients

05/07/2010

ABSTRACT: Background. Patients who are entirely dependent on ventricular pacing are typically at the mercy of a single ventricular lead and pacemaker output in order to provide physiologic support. This study presents a number of high-risk...
