A pacing electrode with a porous surface saturated with glucocorticoids has been designed in order to diminish the pacing threshold of the heart. The data obtained in animal studies show that saturation of the electrode with dexamethasone before implantation significantly reduces the pacing threshold.
The deficiencies of current electrocardiostimulation equipment are being discussed on the basis of analysis of cases with the device implantation. The authors propose changing the shape of the electrocardiostimulator so, that the frame of the device were surrounded by soft tissue.
