[Modifications and control of the myocardial threshold with the Vario pacemaker EM 169 (author's transl)]. 1976

M Santini, and P Dini, and R Di Mascolo, and A Alliegro, and G Messina

Measurements of threshold of electrical stimulation were performed in thirty patients with A-V block, at the time of implantation of the pacemaker, after 10 days, 1-2 months and 1 year. The Vario-pacemaker was used for the measurements. An increase in the stimulation threshold of about 260% was noted after 10 days and 1-2 months. One year after the implantation of the pacemaker, the myocardial threshold was about 200% of the initial value. The method is easy to perform. It is very useful to follow the myocardial threshold changes for a long period after the implantation.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead

D006327 Heart Block Impaired conduction of cardiac impulse that can occur anywhere along the conduction pathway, such as between the SINOATRIAL NODE and the right atrium (SA block) or between atria and ventricles (AV block). Heart blocks can be classified by the duration, frequency, or completeness of conduction block. Reversibility depends on the degree of structural or functional defects.

D006329 Heart Conduction System An impulse-conducting system composed of modified cardiac muscle, having the power of spontaneous rhythmicity and conduction more highly developed than the rest of the heart.
