Abstract

LEON-ROMERO, Luis F. et al. Guide to identify specific characteristics in cardiac pacing devices by radiological figure. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2023, vol.93, n.2, pp.223-232.  Epub May 16, 2023. ISSN 1665-1731.  https://doi.org/10.24875/acm.21000395.

This guide provides help for medical doctors systematically identifying each commercial brand of pacemakers by thoracic radiography through their electronic components (electrode connectors, logic circuit, and battery); this is crucial for watching the pacemaker after being implanted. We aimed to describe the different cardiac stimulation devices, electrodes, and programming modes more frequently used.

Keywords : Pacemaker; Radiography; Cardiac stimulation.
