Identifies correctable insulation defect causing myopotential pacemaker suppression; single case leaves open broader recognition and screening.
Case Report (n=1)
An electrode insulation defect can allow myopotentials to leak into a bipolar pacing system and suppress a demand pacemaker, which can be corrected by repairing the defect.
Amikam et al. (1977) conducted a case report in Pacemaker suppression by myopotentials (n=1). Repair of electrode insulation defect was evaluated on Restoration of normal pacemaker function. Repair of an epicardial electrode insulation defect restored normal pacemaker function by preventing myopotential leakage that had suppressed the bipolar demand unit.
