Özet

The AA. report on patient who suffered diaphragmatic stimulation due to atrial impulse of a single lead DDD pacemaker system. Although the well-known advantages of single lead DDD systems there are some major drawbacks of this technique to consider before implantation. As it is described in this present case, diaphragmatic stimulation can not be avoided in some individuals. This problem was overcome by inserting a separate atrial lead and programming the pacemaker to DDD mode.
