| مستخلص: | The effect of Isometric upper extremity exercise on pacemaker function was evaluated in 27 patients who remained pacemaker-dependent during testing. Inhibition was demonstrated in eight (31 percent) of which five were symptomatic. Based on design of the sensing amplifier and return to an all-metal housing in the unipolar lithium pulse generators, myopotential inhibition is being recognized as one cause of symptomatic pacemaker inhibition that is more common than generally appreciated. A method of evaluation and management options for symptomatic patients are discussed. Routine testing of all patients should be performed at the time of a regular office evaluation. If one model pulse generator appears to be particularly prone to myopotential inhibition, this knowledge should be considered in the choice of future pacing systems. |
