First there is a description of present methods available for controlling the functioning of pacemakers, most of which are already being used in traditional clinic-electronic control. There follows a presentation of telephone monitoring (ECG + Pacing Rate) and its limits so far as photoanalysis is concerned. Mention is made of the new italian system of telephone monitoring which also includes measurement of amplitude and width of the pulse. Personal experience of the diagnostic value of photoanalysis is given. This concords with others as to its necessity to detect any failure from circuitry defects or from breakage or insulation of electrode. In conclusion the hope is expressed of actuating a completely trustworthy control system which includes a high degree of foreseeing failure (telephone monitoring) and diagnostic value (Rx + photoanalysis). At last the advantages of an automatic follow-up system in a pacemaker patient clinic are discussed.
首先描述了目前可用于控制起搏器功能的方法，其中大多数已在传统临床电子控制中使用。接下来介绍了电话监测（心电图+起搏频率）及其在光分析方面的局限性。提到了意大利新的电话监测系统，该系统还包括脉冲幅度和宽度的测量。给出了光分析诊断价值的个人经验。这与其他人一致认为，检测电路缺陷、电极断裂或绝缘导致的任何故障很有必要。最后表示希望启动一个完全可靠的控制系统，该系统具有高度的故障预见能力（电话监测）和诊断价值（X线+光分析）。最后讨论了起搏器患者诊所中自动随访系统的优点。
