Temporary AV sequential pacing, several hours later. Not a great idea with PAT with block. There is no evidence of atrial capture in the top strip; there may be occasional one in the lower strips, hæmodynamically worthless. Right ventricular pacing in the two lower strips did improve the cardiac output through increased heart rate without concomittant rise in pulmonary pressure.
