It is also known as pacemaker exit block.\u00a0 Pacemaker exit block can be due to fibrosis as a result of local tissue reaction. Steroid eluting leads reduce the local tissue reaction and prevent increase in pacing threshold which can occur due to fibrosis.<\/p>\n<p>First degree pacemaker exit block is manifested as a delay between the pacing artifact and the QRS complex. In second degree pacemaker exit block, the interval progressively increases culminating in a non capture. In third degree pacemaker exit block there is total loss of capture [1]. This can occur in either terminal illness or severe hyperkalemia [2].<\/p>\n<p>The delay between the pacemaker spike and the depolarization of the chamber is also known as latency. Normal latency for right ventricular endocardial pacing is less than 40 milliseconds. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babymhospital.org\/BMH_MJ\/index.php\/BMHMJ\/article\/view\/100\/263\">ECG of first degree pacemaker exit block at the atrial level<\/a> has also been reported [3].<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Reference<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Kistler PM, Mond HG, Vohra JK.
