CONT

Les stimulateurs sentinelles inhibés par QRS (VVI) aux paramètres préréglés : Ces modèles demeurent les plus utilisés en France : 70 à 80% des implantations en 1979.

OBS

Bien que les termes "stimulateur sentinelle" et "stimulateur à la demande" soient plus génériques, désignant aussi les stimulateurs sentinelles déclenchés par QRS, on les utilise plus souvent pour désigner cette notion plus particulière, vu que les stimulateurs sentinelles déclenchés par QRS sont en voie de disparition.
