Single P-wave measurement with 100% safety margin often fails reliable atrial sensing; leaves open whether histogram data improves programming in pacemaker patients.
Does the use of P wave amplitude histogram data improve the assessment of atrial sensitivity compared to a single measurement in patients with pacemakers?
P wave amplitude histograms provide a more reliable assessment of minimum P wave amplitudes than single measurements, potentially improving atrial sensing programming in pacemakers.
