Abstract
|
|
|
|
Permanent cardiac pacing is not different from other therapeutic modalities. Once initiated, it is essential to periodically assess the continued appropriateness of the pacemaker programming, mechanical integrity of the leads, electrical performance of the pulse generator including battery status, and overall performance of the pacing system. The diagnostic information integral to the pacemaker including noninvasive programmability, measured data, event marker, and electrogram telemetry, especially the data on the atrial and ventricular high-rate episodes have greatly helped clinicians perform these periodic assessments and make changes in antiarrhythmic drugs or antithrombotic management. The information can be obtained in a standard office environment with pacemaker programs. In this review, the follow-up of patients with pacemaker and optimal pacemaker programming will be discussed.
