title: [Transesophageal atrial pacing in bradyarrhythmia disorders of heart rhythm (preliminary report)].
abstract: The aim of the paper was to assess the contribution of transesophageal atrial stimulation in bradyarrhythmic derangements of the heart rhythm. The main purpose was to make the diagnostic simpler and safer. Since the series of patients involved is small, our results are to be considered as a preliminary report. (1) When only dysfunction of the sinoatrial node is involved, the method yields results comparable to those obtained by invasive electrophysiological examination. Compared to the latter, invasive approach, the great advantage of the presented method is its repeatability and simplicity. (2) Greater caution is required on evaluating the conductivity, as it can not be reliably determined in the His-Purkinje system. (Tab. 2, Fig. 5, Ref. 12.)
