ABSTRACT:
The pacing system disclosed herein involves both an implantable, battery-powered heart stimulating unit and an external, patient-operable overdriver unit. Responsive to the application of the external unit, the implanted unit switches from an inhibit mode to a synchronous mode in which it is responsive to and tracks signals generated by the external unit thereby to apply externally selectable stimulation sequences for the treatment of tachycardia-type arrhythmias.
