ABSTRACT:
A system and methodology permit facilitated review of atrial pacing threshold testing. Primarily the system allows the ventricular rate to fall substantially below the atrial rate, preferrably to 1/2 the atrial pacing rate. A number of ways to accomplish this are described including forcing mode switches between ADI and DDI between beats, except where ventricular events follow atrial paces. Application of the technique and system to clinical, implant and follow up situations is described.
