title: [Progress in cardiac pacing].
abstract: This review summarizes recent scientific developments in ambulatory monitoring and its legal implications in appropriately selected patients. It also considers how new cardiac pacing devices can be used in the clinical monitoring of atrial fibrillation, sleep apnea and, in transplant patients, heart failure and transplant rejection. In addition, the system of accreditation for cardiac pacing services in Spain is outlined, with a focus on process development and quality indicators. Finally, the scientific articles on cardiac pacing that made the greatest impact in 2007 are summarized.
