May enable reliable automatic capture verification in pacemaker procedures; leaves open need for larger prospective validation.
Does a charge-neutral sensing scheme provide reliable automatic capture verification in patients undergoing pacemaker implant or replacement?
A novel charge-neutral sensing scheme provides a high signal-to-noise ratio for automatic capture verification during pacemaker implantation.
KADHIRESAN et al. (1999) studied Pacemaker implant or replacement (n=23). Charge-neutral sensing scheme was evaluated on System signal to noise ratio (SNR) of capture to noncapture beats. A charge-neutral sensing method for automatic capture verification demonstrated a mean system signal-to-noise ratio of 8.6, providing an average ninefold safety margin.
