Key result
Analysis of 34 artificial pacemakers demonstrated that malfunctioning QRS-inhibited pacemakers with prolonged refractory periods or non-sensing mimic intermittent parasystole with phase 3 or 4 protection.
Why the study?
How do different modes of artificial pacemaker function model the electrocardiographic manifestations of parasystole?
Observational (n=34)
How do different modes of artificial pacemaker function model the electrocardiographic manifestations of parasystole?
Artificial pacemaker function can serve as an electronic model to understand the complex electrocardiographic manifestations of parasystolic rhythms.

Pacemaker malfunctions model parasystole ECG patterns; extends mechanistic insights and aids differential diagnosis in device patients.
Castellanos et al. (1982) conducted an observational in Artificial pacemaker function and parasystole (n=34). Artificial pacemaker function analysis was evaluated on Electrocardiographic manifestations of spontaneous rhythms. Analysis of 34 artificial pacemakers demonstrated that malfunctioning QRS-inhibited pacemakers with prolonged refractory periods or non-sensing mimic intermittent parasystole with phase 3 or 4 protection.
