The role of echocardiography in cardiac pacing is reviewed. We discuss its usefulness and limitations in the identification of pacing catheters, diagnosis of myocardial wall perforation, evaluation of catheter displacement/malposition, manipulation and positioning of catheters without recourse to fluoroscopy, identification of pacemaker induced thrombosis, diagnosis of venous anomalies and assessment of left atrial function in atrioventricular sequential (DVI) pacing.
