This is a series of EKG rhythm strips for the same patient.

The pacing threshold was 4.2 volts at a pulse width of 0.5ms. Set to a unipolar mode the resistance fell to 570 ohms with a threshold of 0.7 volts at 0.5ms.

 The pacing threshold in a bipolar mode with the patient lying down. The resistance was 2,800 ohms.
 The pacing threshold in a bipolar mode with the patient sitting. The lead resistance was 1,140 ohms.
