title: [Progress in cardiac pacing 2006].
abstract: This article summarizes progress in cardiac pacing that has taken place in the last year, such as the incorporation of navigation technology into programmers, systems for monitoring hemodynamic parameters, and new developments in patient follow-up, principally home monitoring and the use of treatment guidelines. In addition, the article covers recent findings in resynchronization therapy, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and the management of patients with pacemakers who need to undergo magnetic resonance imaging.
