Interpretation of Pacemaker ECG

…chambers are paced. The stimulation artifact is larger in unipolar pacing, as compared with bipolar pacing. The latter yields a discrete stimulation artifact, which may…

Perioperative Management of Patients with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices

Basic cardiac pacing, pacemaker functions and settings

…chapter, the delivery of pacing pulses can be bipolar or unipolar. Sensing can also be bi or unipolar. Generally, sensing is more accurate with bipolar

Components and construction of a pacemaker
