Transvenous, transthoracic, and percussion pacing are well recognised treatments of bradycardia and asystole with residual p wave activity. We report two cases of severe bradycardia in which percussion pacing was applied and the procedure was found to be effective. This technique can be life-saving and it should be well-known by all doctors.
