Why the study?
Does a new detection method using the integral of the negative portion of the unipolar evoked response allow Autocapture operation with unipolar and bipolar leads in pacemaker patients?
Population
71 patients with pacemakers, mean age 73.7 +/- 9.9 years.
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
544 +/- 796 days after implant (time of recording)

May enable Autocapture with more leads; extends algorithm data but leaves open randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does a new detection method using the integral of the negative portion of the unipolar evoked response allow Autocapture operation with unipolar and bipolar leads in pacemaker patients?
A novel detection algorithm using the integral of the negative portion of the unipolar evoked response enables Autocapture functionality across both unipolar and bipolar pacemaker leads.
Binner et al. (2003) studied this question.
