title: Crosstalk during bipolar pacing.
abstract: Bipolar sensing pulse generators were thought to have eliminated crosstalk problems evident in unipolar systems. Crosstalk has been observed in the Model 284-02 bipolar sensing pacemakers. These intermittent problems were resolved by decreasing atrial output, decreasing ventricular sensitivity or increasing the ventricular blanking period. Three patients had pacemaker crosstalk, two experienced symptoms analogous to pacemaker syndrome.
