ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardioverting/defibrillating pacemaker and method for treating arrhythmias of a patient's heart are disclosed. Bradycardia support pacing is initially provided at a normal standby rate, in the absence of a tachycardia. Upon detection and confirmation of a tachycardia, antitachycardia therapy in the form of antitachycardia pacing pulse therapy and/or cardioversion or defibrillation therapy is delivered to the heart. Thereafter, upon reversion of the tachycardia, bradycardia support pacing is again delivered to the heart but at a greater rate than the earlier normal standby rate and only for a predetermined time period. At the end of such time period, the bradycardia support pacing rate is returned to the normal standby rate, either directly or in decremental steps.
