Abstract
A 67-year-old man with acute anterolateral myocardial infarction had recurrent ventricular fibrillation that required insertion of temporary pacemaker. When a permanent pacemaker was inserted stable pacing was not obtained until the catheter tip stimulated the left atrium. Four months after discharge from the hospital the patient was doing well, and left atrial pacing has continued.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
