Does anyone know what kind of pressure changes would occur on the "cardiac cylce diagram" if the patient had a pacemaker? i know what the normal CCD looks like, but I can't figure out how a pacemaker would change it. This question has nothing to do with EKG findings, just ventrical/atrial pressure changes.

You would do well to ask that in a medical chat room.

As a healthcare provider (but my specialty is not cardiology) it makes no sense to me that it would change it at all. It may not be an EKG question but a pacer on an EKG does not disturb the QRST complex, which is responcible for pressure changes. It's not like ectopic 'pacers' in the heart which causes inadequate filling
