Abstract
The function of pacemaker systems has always been variable and patients with implanted pacemakers have had intercurrent events which affect the interaction of the pacemaker system and the patient. Their welfare has required continued observation to reduce the incidence of sudden and unpredicted failure of the pacing system, to detect substandard performance of some units, and to produce maximum longevity of those units capable of prolonged operation.
