The first complex on the left is a fusion between the patient's native QRS and the pacemaker spike (this is nomal operation) this is followed by a PVC. Note the small blip following the PVC is artifact and is not a failure to capture of the pacemaker. The pacemaker is working well as a VVI pacer set at 50/min. The large spikes suggest a unipolar lead.]]
