dc.description.abstractThe objectives of this study were to assess the feasibility of this system for measuring in vivo mechanical loading on pectorally implanted pacemakers, to compare differences in mechanical loading experienced by pacemakers in different pectoral implant positions (i.e. sub-muscular and sub-coetaneous) and to formulate a concept of an interspecific transfer function for predicting the in vivo mechanical loads on sub-muscularly implanted pacemakers in humans, by using data obtained from baboons.en_ZA
