31bipolar pacing — cardiac pacing in which both electrodes contact the cardiac tissue; inappropriate sensing of electromagnetic interference and extracardiac stimulation are less frequent than in unipolar pacing …
32epicardial pacing — a method for temporary cardiac pacing or sensing of the atria or ventricles by attaching pacing leads to the epicardial surface; usually used in the diagnosis and treatment of postoperative dysrhythmias …
33transcutaneous pacing — a temporary method for cardiac pacing, in which large surface, high impedance electrodes are applied to the anterior and posterior chest walls to deliver high current stimuli of long duration for pacing of the ventricles …
34transesophageal pacing — a temporary method for cardiac pacing using leads placed within the esophagus to effect temporary atrial pacing in the diagnosis and treatment of dysrhythmias …
35transvenous pacing — a permanent or temporary method for cardiac pacing in which the pacing leads, inserted by means of a catheter, are connected to the endocardium via the venous circulation; the pulse generator may be implanted or external …
36Australian Pacing Championship — The Australian Pacing Championship is a harness racing event showcasing some of Australia s best pacers. Currently held annually at Gloucester Park in Perth …
37antitachycardia pacing — cardiac pacing with stimuli timed to terminate a tachyarrhythmia …
38asynchronous pacing — cardiac pacing in which impulse generation by the pacemaker occurs at a fixed rate, independent of underlying cardiac activity …
39atrial pacing — cardiac pacing by means of an intracardiac electrode inserted in the atrium or by temporary placement of an esophageal electrode …
40continuous pacing — continuous delivery of cardiac pacing stimuli, either at a normal or overdrive rate, to prevent tachycardias …
