Implication

Diaphragmatic myopotentials may inhibit bipolar pacemakers; case report leaves open perforation as etiology.

Structured PICO

Population

1 patient with an external bipolar demand pulse generator

Intervention

Recording of proximal, distal and bipolar electrograms during respiration and maneuvers causing active contraction of the diaphragm

Outcome

Source of transient pacemaker inhibition

Diaphragmatic myopotentials can cause transient inhibition of an external bipolar demand pulse generator, potentially indicating electrode perforation.
