ABSTRACT:
A pacemaker system adapted to delivery pacing pulses in the presence of tachycardia or bradycardia. The pacing pulses are delivered via large surface area electrodes of the type normally used to accomplish defibrillation or cardioversion. Delivery of pacing pulses using the large surface area electrodes results in a more simultaneous depolarization of the heart tissue and is believed beneficial to improve hemodynamic efficiency of paced heart beats and in terminating detected tachyarrhythmias.
