Abstract
- Transthoracic cardiac pacing is frequently associated with simultaneous stimulation of skeletal muscle and nerves. We describe a patient in cardiogenic shock and complete heart block in whom the associated vigorous abdominal and chest muscle contractions caused by transthoracic cardiac pacing resulted in a marked augmentation of cardiac output and systemic blood pressure via a "CPR" effect.
