The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator(ICD)is a key component in the primary pre-vention of sudden cardiac death in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.Appropriate device programming is pivotal in maximizing the...
Background: Atrial AutoCaptureTM (ACapTM) was a new technological development that confirmed atrial capture by analyzing evoked response (ER) with a new method - paced depolarization integral ER detection- and op...
Over the last five decades,pacemaker therapy has undergone remarkable technological advances with increasing sophistication of pacemaker features.However,device longevity has remained one of the major issues in pacema...
Background The automatic, threshold tracking, pacing algorithm developed by St.Jude Medical, verifies ventricular capture beat by beat by recognizing the evoked response following each pacemaker stimulus. This functio...
