Should the split format in the third position of the pacemaker code be resurrected?
It is possible to characterize some of the sensing functions of new multisite pacing systems by resurrecting the split format in the third position of the standard pacemaker code. This approach permits accurate representation of the horizontal and vertical triggering functions of multisite dual-chamber pacemakers without creating a new code.
