During placement of AV sequential Pacers and ICD's I have heard of a physician who utilizes a continuous 12 lead readout to assist with placement of the leads.  Are they just looking for the narrowest QRS for the placement of the V lead?  What would they be looking for with the placement of the A lead?  I am told their patients almost always end up with the best AV optimization at the 2 and 10 week follow up compared to other physicians cases.  Any other ideas?

I ran across this article in the Education section- "Strategies to Simplify Device Optimization" http://www.medscape.com/viewprogram/8352  and it gave a nice explaination of optimizing and how to improve it.  As I am a lab person,it was helpful.
