Abstract

Latency, also known as pacemaker exit block, occurs when there is a delay between a stimulus from a pacemaker and atrial or ventricular depolarization. It can be associated with various conditions. In this report, we describe two cases of latency identified on electrocardiogram. In our cases, the patient and/or family declines comprehensive workup of the findings of latency. Routine outpatient follow-up was scheduled instead.
