A not uncommon arrhythmia in cardiac orthotopic transplantation patients is sinus node dysfunction with chronotropic incompetence. This is a result of the surgical procedure that denervates the donor heart while the native sinus node may be normal but isolated in the remnant of the recipient atrial wall that serves as the anastomotic site. We were able to restore "normal sinus node function" in a heart transplant patient utilizing a bipolar single chamber pacemaker programmed to the triggered mode. A single unipolar active fixation lead was positioned in each atria. Both leads were connected to a bipolar AAT pulse generator utilizing a Y adaptator. The native atrium with its innervated intact sinus node effectively drove the donor atrium and thus the heart.
