Download acronyms

I'm new to a pacemaker. I recieved a copy of a download using many acronyms. I have a Boston Scientific dual lead. I was diagnosed with sick sinus syndrom. Is there a website where I can get an explanation of the acronyms?

Click on LEARN, then to abbreviations.  That's a good place to start.
