TTM or Direct |
Direct or indirect measurement of battery voltage and anticipate need for replacement |
| TTM | Evaluation of pacing and sensing during normal pacer function and during application of magnet |
|
Direct |
Lead function: sensing, pacing thresholds. and impedance measurement: telemetry of lead during various arm/chest positions to expose any subtle lead insulation defect |
|
Direct |
Optimization of pacing outputs and parameters based on results of pacing tests, patient clinical condition, and medications |
| Direct |
Evaluation of diagnostic information stored in pacemakers and integrate information with overall patient management strategy |
|
Direct |
Patient education |
