Abstract
Three patients with endocardial fibrosis who had their endocardial pacing thresholds measured are described. The threshold values were elevated to at least twice normal levels. By determining the endocardial pacing threshold value, a technique is available for detection of endocardial fibrosis during diagnostic cardiac catheterization.Keywords
