ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardiac stimulation device prevents pacemaker mediated tachycardias during autocapture. The device includes a refractory circuit that establishes a lengthened post ventricular atrial refractory period (PVARP) in response to a lengthened AV interval. Such a lengthened AV interval may occur as a result of the provision of a back-up pacing pulse or fusion beat evaluation during autocapture.
