Le developement de ľelectrode au carbone et les seuils de stimulation à long terme sont presentés. En comparaison avec les matériaux ?électrodes usuels, ľélectrode au carbone permet des seuils de stimulation à long terme plus bas. Chez 43 patients, il a été possible de diminuer le voltage des stimulateurs lorsque ľélectrode au carbone était utilisée. Ce matériau favorise done ľutilisation des stimulateurs à basse énergie. The development of the carbon tip electrode and its low chronic threshold behavior are described. Compared to presently used electrode material, carbon tip electrodes result in lower chronic stimulation thresholds. In a group of 43 patients, chronic pulse generator output has been favorably reduced in association with this type of electrode. Thus the use of activated carbon tip electrodes may result in the routine implantation of low output pacemakers.
