AB Key  Clinical  Questions  What  are  the  components  of  an  implantable  pacing  or  defibrillation  system?  How  do  pacemakers  interact  with  the  heart’s  natural  rhythm  to  know  when  to  and  when  not  to  pace?  What  do  the  common  pacing  codes  (ie,  VVI,  DDD)  mean,  and  how  do  they  affect  the  electrocardiogram  (ECG)?  When  should  patients  be  referred  for  cardiac  resynchronization  therapy  (CRT)?  How  should  clinicians  evaluate  the  patient  who  has  received  an  implantable  cardiac  defibrillator  (ICD)  shock?  When  should  a  pacemaker  or  ICD  be  interrogated  in  the  inpatient  setting?
