3.1 General
Considerations
The CRT-P follow-up serves to verify appropriate function of the
pacing system, and to optimize the parameter settings.
pacing system, and to optimize the parameter settings.
In most instances, pacing system malfunction attributed to
causes such as chronic threshold can be corrected by
reprogramming the CRT-Ps. The follow-up intervals are,
therefore, primarily determined by medical judgment, taking
possible pacemaker dependency into consideration.

Programming Modifications – Extreme programming
changes should only be made after careful clinical
assessment. Clinical judgment should be used when
programming permanent pacing rates below 40 ppm or above
