Abstract

A new pulse generator, with a programmable high output option, was implanted in fifteen patients and studied for eight to ten months postoperatively. This feature is designed to combat exit block. It was useful in one patient who developed a form of exit block following a silent myocardial infarction. Muscle stimulation was rare, even though the system is unipolar. The high output option seems to be a desirable feature and should probably be available in all multiprogrammable pulse generators.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
