Abstract
Dans la stimulation à deux chambres, pour garder aux stimulateurs leurs avantages de petite taille, de volume réduit et de longue durée, il est nécessaire de diminuer les seuils de stimulation. Ceci peut être accompli par ľoptimisation de ľinterface électrode‐coeur. Des nouvelles électrodes pourraient réquire les pertes de polarisation; de même, des nouveaux matériaux pourraient être envisagés. Les résultats de ces données doivent être rapportés à stimulation chronique.In dual‐chamber pacing in order to maintain the advantages of small pulse generator size and volume, and increased longevity, it becomes necessary to reduce pulse generator output. This may be accomplished by optimizing the electrode‐heart interface. New electrode designs may reduce polarization losses; perhaps even newer materials should be considered. The results of accumulated data must be applicable to long‐term pacing.Keywords
