Long-term Follow-up of Pacemakers with an Autocapture Pacing System.

60 consecutive patients who underwent VVI pacemaker implantation using an Autocapture program with leads 1402T (n=31) and 1452T (n=29), mean age 71, 60% male. Indications included sick sinus syndrome with atrial fibrillation, brady-tachy syndrome, and AV block.
