ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardiac stimulator having a bradycardia pacer and a defibrillator in a common housing and sharing common atrial and ventricular sense circuits includes circuitry for defining a dynamic paced refractory interval that is inversely proportional to the pacing rate to thereby allow adequate time in the cardiac cycle for sensing ventricular events even at elevated pacing rates such as when the atrial tracking rate approaches a programmed upper rate limit for the pacemaker or a sensor driven rate approaches the programmed upper rate limit.
