Special implant connection module was developed to combine full features of two commercial heart rhythm simulators, ARSI-4 and Intersim II, into a master-slave teaching system. Seven workstations were equipped with the Carelink and Homemonitoring remote patient monitoring systems. This combination enables in-vitro training of physicians, nurses and students in pace-maker and defibrillator measurements during implantation and individual programming in the follow-up. Thus, extended sets of arrhythmias and electrode problems can be used to simulate problems and their solutions in a wide range of the clinical routine.
Decrease of non-responder rate is the main chal-lenge in cardiac resynchronization therapy. The problem could be solved, partly, in the follow-up by consequent indi-vidualization of hemodynamic pacing parameters. The eso-phageal electrogram feature of the Biotronik ICS 3000 programmer was used in the follow-up of 20 heart failure patients carrying implants for cardiac resynchronization therapy. Adverse hemodynamic programming of the sensed and paced AV delay could be easily observed and replaced by the individual optimal duration in 3 patients (15%) VDD and DDD operation.This result proves the value of esophageal electrogram recording CRT follow-up.
