ABSTRACT:
A rate-responsive cardiac pacemaker implements a novel pacing mode, identified as ADIR/VVIR, which is especially effective for patients with Sick Sinus Syndrome and only intermittent atrioventricular block. Within the same pacemaker circuitry, an AAIR pacemaker and a VVI pacemaker (with an escape rate below that of the AAIR pacemaker) are provided with atrial blanking following both atrial and ventricular events. Ventricular blanking after atrial pacing is minimized for better detection of R-waves following an atrial paced event.
