| Abstract: | A multi-programmable, single chamber pulse generator with automatic, activity-sensing rate regulation was successfully implanted into an eight-year-old crossbred dog with symptomatic third-degree atrioventricular heart block. Postoperative Holter monitoring confirmed appropriate activity-related changes in the ventricular rate. |
