Text Extraction

Most pacemakers of the 1960’s presented no problem for the description of their functions because they were all essentially the same: they paced a single cardiac chamber, had no sensing capability and had no adjustable characteristics. For the first time, in 1974 the Inter-Society Commission for Heart Disease (ICHD) proposed a three-position “generic” or “conventional” pacemaker code: the first letter corresponded to chamber paced, the second letter to chamber sensed and the third letter to mode of response. In 1981 a revised code was published by the same designers, this code was augmented by two additional positions: programmability at position IV and special antitachyarrhythmia function at position V. One year later, the Pacemaker Study Group includes the letter C of Communicating in the IV position. The pacemaker code used until three years ago was introduced in 1987 by the Mode Code Committee of the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology (NASPE) together with the British Pacing and Electrophysiology Group (BPEG). This code retains all the characteristics of the 1974 ICHD Code and some of those of the later five-position codes.
