[The pacemaker and the general practitioner (author's transl)]. / Il pacemaker e il medico pratico.

The Authors promoted an inquiry, to all the General Practitioners in the Province of Verona about the problems the patient with a pacemaker implanted bears to his attending physician. The results of this inquiry have shown uncertainties or faulty beliefs about the follow-up and medical treatment of the patients with pacemaker. Therefore the work has shown the necessity of a closer connection between hospitals and general practitioners in order to provide continuous medical education on this problem.
