Why the study?
Can an external artificial pacemaker provide prolonged ventricular control in a patient with heart block?
Can an external artificial pacemaker provide prolonged ventricular control in a patient with heart block?
Continuous use of an external artificial pacemaker for seven days successfully maintained ventricular control until spontaneous rhythm recovered in a patient with heart block.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support temporary external pacing until recovery in heart block; leaves open safety, durability, and generalizability beyond this case.
Albert H. Douglas (1955) studied this question.
