Abbott Implantable Cardiac Pacemaker
Pr P. BORDACHAR, Dr K. MAHFOUZ, Dr S. PLOU
The authors of the Stimuprat team are pleased to present this book dedicated to the
specificities of the interrogation and programming of the pacemakers marketed by
AbbottTM.
The galloping advances of the past 20 years have led to the development of highly
complex devices capable of producing electrocardiographic tracings that are difficult
to interpret if the physician does not possess a thorough knowledge of the functioning
and specificities of each implanted prosthesis. Modern implantable devices, whether
implantable loop recorders, cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardioverter
defibrillators, store an increasing amount of diagnostic information relative to the
operational functioning of the device.
This publication revisits the various phases of the interrogation and programming of
the AbbottTM pacemakers through clinical cases, simple or more complex, depicting
the different clinical situations encountered during the follow-up of an implanted
patient. The reading of each tracing is didactically detailed, followed by a practical
commentary proposing a solution to the illustrated problem with a reminder of good
practices.
Portions of the contents of this book are available in French and English on the
“Pacingdefibrillation.com” website. This site, freely accessible, reviews the state of
the art in the field along with details of the specific features of the various devices
for pacing, defibrillation and resynchronization. It can also foster the exchange of
ideas through a discussion forum with the possibility of submitting tracings and
subsequently discussing the diagnoses as well as the most suitable treatment options.
Pleasant reading !!!
