DEFINITION

Classification: 607/28

Measuring pacing threshold, capture margin, or contact impedance:

(under subclass 27) Subject matter for determining the minimum, pulse amplitude necessary to sustain pacing of the heart, how much reserve or margin of amplitude exists above a threshold, or a load or contact impedance at the applicator interface with the body tissue as a measure of pacing efficiency.
