Abstract

Electronic pacing is now the accepted therapy for patients with symptomatic slow ventricular heart rates. Pacing may be temporary or permanent, epicardial or endocardial, fixed, synchronous or demand. The choice of pacing mode is dictated by the clinical status of the patient, his progress during temporary pacing, and the presence or absence of competitive rhythm.
