Zusammenfassung:Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Pacemaker’s ventricular sensing function relies on the analysis of the intracardiac electrogram (EGM) including the timing of the intrinsic detection. The phenomenon of ventricular sensing latency refers to the gap of time by which the intrinsic signal gets delayed to be detected compared with the surface electrogram (ECG). A pacing system analyzer (PSA) unit is needed to record the EGM during pacemaker operation, which is expected to correspond to those taken following implantation. Purpose We sought to determine the latency period for sensing EGM by the right ventricular (RV) lead, either through the PSA or through the implanted pacemaker on the same patient. Methods Patients without significant heart disease and intrinsic atrioventricular conduction underwent conventional dual-chamber Medtronic or Abbott pacemaker implantation with the RV lead positioned on mid-septum. Real time sensing data was obtained through PSA and after pacemaker implantation. The RV lead sensing latency was defined as the time interval Q-VS measured from the beginning of QRS on ECG to the released ventricular sensed (VS) event marker on either device. Results Of 157 patients, 105 had narrow QRS (
