Abstract: Individuals with permanently implanted pacemakers who have normal sensing and pacing at rest may demonstrate abnormalities, particularly of atrial sensing, with exercise. Exercise is known to cause changes in the surface electrocardiographic voltages. The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in endocardial and epicardial voltages during exercise in canines with permanently implanted pacing leads similar to those permanently implanted in humans with pacemakers. Six adult mongrel dogs were equipped with transvenous atrial and ventricular endocardial bipolar screw-in leads from a jugular venosection, and with atrial and ventricular bipolar stab-on leads from a left thoracotomy. Exercise was performed at one week following implantation and at weekly intervals for a total of 4 weeks. The animals were studied at rest and at a single workload of 3 miles per hour at a 30% elevation. Unfiltered electrograms were recorded with a VR-12 Electronics-for-Medicine photographic recorder. The mean decreases of electrograms with exercise from resting voltage were: 15% for atrial endocardial unipolar leads; 11% for atrial endocardial bipolar leads; 4% for atrial epicardial unipolar leads; 15% for atrial epicardial bipolar leads; 8% for ventricular endocardial unipolar leads; 18% for ventricular endocardial bipolar leads; 0.1% for ventricular epicardial unipolar leads and 5% for ventricular epicardial bipolar leads.
