Abstract
Coordinating the timing of individual electrical processes in the heart is required for proper electrical activation. Pacemakers used for bradycardia treatment must respect this timing. The more perfectly they try to approximate natural cardiac activation, the more complex is the timing of individual processes. To comprehend how pacemakers work, it is absolutely essential to become familiar with the timing of individual events.
