What is pace voltage?

Pace voltage, often referred to in the context of pacing systems in cardiac devices, is the amount of electrical voltage delivered by a pacemaker to stimulate the heart muscle. This voltage is crucial for ensuring the heart contracts effectively, especially in cases where natural heart rhythms are disrupted. The output voltage can be adjusted based on the individual needs of the patient and the specific characteristics of their heart tissue. Proper pacing voltage is essential for optimal cardiac function and patient safety.
