Following transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks, a significant increase in QT dispersion was observed. We suggest shock-induced increased dispersion of myocardial repolarization as one of the mechanisms of shock-induced proarrhythmia.
It is possible to characterize some of the sensing functions of new multisite pacing systems by resurrecting the split format in the third position of the standard pacemaker code. This approach permits accurate representation of the horizontal and vertical triggering functions of multisite dual-chamber pacemakers without creating a new code.
A permanent pacemaker system was successfully implanted into a low-body-weight infant with congenital atrioventricular (AV) block, using a bipolar epicardial CapSure Epi lead and an autocaptured Pacesetter Solus-micro VVIR pacemaker. The calculated life span of the pacemaker generator is 5 years with a heart rate of 120/min and an output of 1.2 V (0.31 ms), and fortunately, its threshold was autocaptured. Thus, we can conclude that the combination of a steroid-eluted bipolar epicardial lead and the smallest possible autocaptured pacemaker generator is most suitable for a neonate or young infant.
