Caution against extrapolating canine pacing benefits to patients; extends basic physiology but needs prospective human studies.
Does atrial pacing alter regional oxygen consumption and supply in the dog heart?
Atrial pacing in a dog model improves the relationship of oxygen supply to demand due to a large increase in coronary blood flow.
H. R. Weiss (1979) studied this question.
