Pacemaker update 1984. Part IV. DDD pacemaker--electrocardiographic assessment and problem solving.

ABSTRACT

Knowledge of the programmed parameters of an artificial pacemaker is critical to the accurate assessment of pacemaker function, especially with the use of an AV universal (DDD) pacemaker. In addition, each manufacturer's idiosyncrasies regarding pacemaker function have to be appreciated to intelligently monitor the rhythm of a state-of-the-art pacemaker.
