The increasing number of pacemaker patients correlates with the
number of pacemaker meetings that attract physicians and medical
engineers entering this expanding branch of medicine. The Pacemaker
Colloquium organised in Brussels April 21st and 22nd 1977 was such
a meeting. It was different from previous meetings as it had no
surveys or summaries on patient series but instead it focused on
controversial subjects that have emerged from pacing in the past
and on new developments for the future. Besides controversial
papers on indications for temporary and long-term pacing, new
technical developments were presented in Brussels, where for the
first time the important lithium battery manufacturers demonstrated
their data. The surveys on electrodes, especially the fixation
mechanisms and the atrial electrodes, initiated an animated
discussion. This all converged in a Round Table on the choice of
the electrode-pacemaker combination. Pacemaker electrocar diography
and the application of cardiac stimulation in various types
oftachyar rhythmias formed two clinically oriented sessions. Mter a
survey ofthe various follow-up systems a series of presentations
deals for the first time with the possibilities and difficulties of
the application of com puters in cardiac pacing. A Round Table on
the organisation of the Pacemaker clinic closed this friendly and
animated meeting. It is our sincere hope that the publication of
the presented papers and dis cussions in these Proceedings will
help all those active in cardiac pacing to answer some of their
problems and to improve the treatment of pacemaker patients."
