Supports low-output pacing feasibility in this series; leaves open confirmation in larger trials before practice change.
Does chronic ventricular pacing at 1.6 V and 0.6 msec using a steroid eluting lead provide safe and effective pacing in patients requiring pacemakers?
Chronic ventricular pacing at a low output of 1.6 V at 0.6 msec is safe and effective using a steroid eluting lead, potentially improving pacemaker longevity.
