May warrant caution with atrial sensitivity settings during exercise in young pacemaker patients; hypothesis-generating for prospective programming studies.
Does vigorous exercise decrease atrial electrogram size in young patients with permanently implanted bipolar dual chamber pacing systems?
Vigorous exercise significantly decreases atrial electrogram size in young patients with pacemakers, highlighting the need for appropriate atrial sensitivity settings in active individuals.
Ross et al. (1991) studied this question.
