ABSTRACT:
A heart stimulator for detecting atrial tachycardia, contains a control device to which are connected an atrial detector, having a blanking period, for detecting atrial events, a ventricular stimulation unit for delivering stimulation pulses in the ventricle, a counter for generating a variable PV interval between a detected atrial event and a stimulation pulse delivered in the ventricle, a time measurement unit for measuring time between two consecutive, detected atrial events and a calculation unit which, in a test mode for determining of whether atrial tachycardia is present, is arranged to cause the counter to generate a PV interval so the PV interval plus the atrial detector's blanking period is equal to half or less than half of an adjustable threshold level PP tachycardia. The time measurement unit sends a detection signal to the control device when a defined number of measured, consecutive PP intervals is less than a defined threshold value PP for the PP interval (threshold value PP tachycardia).
