Abstract:
We report two patients with DDD and VVI pacemakers respectively, in whom telemetry revealed a markedly high bipolar ventricular lead impedance, suggestive of a fracture or other defect in bipolar lead. Pulse generator was able to switch automatically to unipolar pacing, and a loss of ventricular capture was prevented.
