As increasing impedance of the pacing impulse decreases pacing current, high pacing impedance lowers pacing current and subsequently prolongs pacemaker longevity. The present assumption of a standard 500 ohms impedance disregards interindividual differences. In the present study, the interindividual range of pacing impedance was assessed at implantation. Additionally clinical parameters of patients with low pacing impedance were compared to those of patients with high values.
