Key result
Deep inspiration caused intermittent failure of pacing in a patient with a permanent demand pacemaker, likely due to inhibition by non-cardiac potentials associated with respiration.

May warrant checking for respiratory myopotential inhibition in symptomatic unipolar pacemaker patients; hypothesis-generating case that leaves open modern device implications.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the potential for myopotentials associated with respiration to inhibit demand pacemakers with unipolar electrode systems.
Peter et al. (1976) conducted a case report in Intermittent failure of pacing (n=1). Deep inspiration was evaluated on Intermittent failure of pacing. Deep inspiration caused intermittent failure of pacing in a patient with a permanent demand pacemaker, likely due to inhibition by non-cardiac potentials associated with respiration.
