Abstract
The use of non-thoractomy endocardial implantable defibrillators with pacing capabilities has increased substantially over the past 2 years, This report demonstrates that the pacing threshold increases in some patients after endocardial defibrillation, and substantiates the pract ice of using maximal pacing output after endocardial defibrillation.
