LD Pace II, an easily programmable device for cardiomyoplasty

The efficacy of programmable devices depends heavily on being able to select parameter values matched to the individual patientʹs needs. In many cases, physicians fail to make use of all of the features of a device because of programming complexities. This paper presents a new cardiomyostimulator, “LD Pace II”, emphasising in particular its novel features and the steps taken to make the behaviour of the device easy for the physician to program.
