The capability of a pacemaker to recognize inherent electrical conduction system activity is termed:
A) sensing.
B) failure.
C) stimulation.
D) capture.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensing is the term used to describe a pacemaker's ability to detect and recognize the heart's natural electrical signals. This allows the pacemaker to adjust its own electrical output as needed to maintain a normal heart rhythm. Failure refers to a malfunction of the pacemaker system, stimulation refers to the electrical output from the pacemaker to stimulate the heart, and capture refers to the successful activation of the heart's electrical system by the pacemaker.
