Original Abstract Submitted
a pacing tool adapted for use with a guidewire to allow the guidewire to be used for pacing includes a body defining an elongate cavity adapted to receive a guidewire. a compressible electrical contact is disposed at a proximal end of the elongate cavity and is adapted to shorten axially when a proximal end of the guidewire makes contact with the compressible electrical contact. an electrical cable is electrically coupled with the compressible electrical contact and is adapted to be electrically coupled with a pacing system. the pacing tool may include a guidewire holder for releasably securing the guidewire within the elongate cavity.
