Limitation of long-term atrial pacing via floating ring electrode using overlapping biphasic impulse stimulation in ambulatory-paced patients.
Long-term atrial pacing with overlapping biphasic impulse stimulation using floating atrial electrodes is limited in its use by the high rate of intermittent failure to capture the atrium and by the occurrence of diaphragmatic stimulation in ambulatory patients.
