Clin Cardiol. 1998 Aug;21(8):604-6. doi: 10.1002/clc.4960210815.

Abstract

This paper reports a case of right ventricular dysplasia, in which the patient presented with atrioventricular block and was followed for more than 8 years under left ventricular epicardial pacing. Five years after first epicardial pacemaker implantation, loss of capture occurred. Replacement of the epicardial leads was performed.
