Continuous Electrical Pacing of a Patient with Heart Block Providing 33 Months' Survival

Report of a Case

Peter Fisher M.D.1 and Franklin R. Smith M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 Seattle, Washington

Good survival for 33 months was accomplished by electrical pacing of the human heart in a patient who would not have had this comparatively comfortable nearly three years of life without the use of an implanted pacemaker. The cause of death was not disclosed by necropsy. Extensive fibrosis was found about the implanted needles of the pacemaker. Reimplantation at another site enabled us to pace the heart adequately at surgery.
