Abstract

Extensive experience has been obtained with Medtronic pacemakers in Glasgow, where over 400 patients have received their primary implant. In this seven and a half years' review the technical reliability of both asynchronous and demand generators is determined in terms of failed implant lifetimes and incomplete implant lifetimes . Results are expressed in terms of frequency distribution bar charts and percentage failure curves which provide factual evidence from the field that progress has indeed been made in making generators more reliable. These results provide firm bases against which more recent and future implants will be judged.
