Last updated in 1985, the NCD often permits only a single-chamber pacemaker when the generally accepted standard of care is to implant a dual-chamber device. This has resulted in more [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=epinsights.org&#038;blog=9956112&#038;post=2053&#038;subd=heartrhythmsociety&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
