Abstract
The efficacy of programmable devices depends heavily on being able to selec t parameter values matched to the individual patient's needs. In many cases , physicians fail to make use of all of the features of a device because of programming complexities. This paper presents a new cardiomyostimulator, " LD Pace II", emphasising in particular its novel features and the steps tak en to make the behaviour of the device easy for the physician to program.
