May support low-energy pacing feasibility in select cases; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Do sintered platinum electrodes provide low pacing thresholds in patients requiring cardiac stimulation?
Sintered platinum electrodes demonstrate low acute and chronic pacing thresholds, which may improve pacemaker battery longevity by allowing the use of low energy pulses.
FREUD et al. (1981) studied this question.
