Preoperative fluoroscopic testing may aid VDD electrode selection; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Does a preoperative fluoroscopic test using a taped electrode allow correct assessment of the best fitting electrode length in patients undergoing single lead VDD pacing?
A simple, rapid preoperative fluoroscopic test reliably determines the optimal electrode length for single lead VDD pacing.
