Right Arm Implant: Reposition the RA Electrode
The impedance vector runs from the right pectoral region to the bottom of the heart.
Begin to work with Lead II. This will accomplish two things:
1. The electrode is repositioned farther from the pacemaker; typically three to
four inches to the right (towards the center of the chest).
2. Lead II is made less parallel to the impedance vector, reducing the likelihood
of false pacer detect triggers.
If this does not produce the desired results, try moving the left leg (LL) electrode
upward to make the Lead II even more perpendicular to the impedance vector.
