Implantable pacemaker testers designed to perform the assessment/evaluation of pacemaker function via the telephone. These testers include a transmitter that converts the pacemaker signal into a signal appropriate for transmission over the telephone line, a receiver at the monitoring point (e.g., physician\'s office) that records and decodes the signal, and a testing unit. Transtelephonic pacemaker testers typical transmit a complete electrocardiographic signal depicting the patient\'s heart activity in addition to the pacemaker performance data.
