ABSTRACT:
A tachycardia control pacer in which at least one scanned pulse is generated following each tachycardia confirmation, and the last-used pulse timing is retained following the next tachycardia termination for subsequent first use following the next tachycardia confirmation. The tachycardia termination detecting circuit does not respond to the time interval between at least the first two heartbeats following a generated pulse, to prevent a false determination of tachycardia termination due to the excessive pauses which sometimes occur immediately after pacing despite the fact that tachycardia has not terminated.
