Short-long-short cycle sequences can be arrhythmogenic and facilitate the onset of atrial tachyarrhythmias. Atrial rhythm stabilization (limited to the Advisa series)Īim: atrial rhythm stabilization (ARS) is a programmable function designed to prevent long sinus pauses, which usually follow atrial extrasystoles. The atrial pacing pulses delivered by APP are labeled PP (proactive pacing) on the event markers. APP reacts more slowly to a sustained increase in rate. APP is available when the pacemaker operates in DDD, AAI or MVP mode. After a programmable period of atrial pacing at 100%, the pacemaker gradually decreases the pacing rate, like a smoothing function, in search of the next spontaneous sinus cycle, which restarts the APP.Ī long decremental interval causes a more aggressive response to a sinus rate increase, which means that APP occurs more often, more rapidly and lasts longer than with a shorter decremental interval. Conversely, a shorter interval attenuates the response to isolated atrial extrasystoles and sinus variability near the lower rate. However, the programmed upper rate provides a limit to the APP rate. This overdriving function continues until the pacing rate surpasses the spontaneous rate, resulting in a paced atrial rhythm. If the next atrial event is another non-refractory sensed event, the pacing interval is further decremented. After each sensed, non-refractory atrial event, the device shortens the atrial pacing interval by a programmed decremental value. Operation: the device responds to variations in the atrial rate by accelerating the pacing rate until it reaches a stable paced rhythm that is slightly faster than the spontaneous rate. the median atrial cycle is longer than the AT/AF sensing cycleĪim: Atrial preference pacing (APP) is designed to lower the incidence of atrial tachyarrhythmias by forcing atrial pacing at a rate slightly higher than the spontaneous rhythm.identification of normal sinus rhythm (or normal paced rhythm) for 5 consecutive ventricular intervals.With the Advisa / Ensura series, the pacemaker switches to the atrial tracking mode if 1 of the following criteria is met: if the last 7 A-A intervals are longer than the maximum synchronous rate interval, or if 5 atrial pacing events occur.With the Adapta models, the pacemaker switches to the atrial tracking mode:

The criteria which lead to the switch from DDIR to the atrial synchronous mode also vary depending on the series of pacemakers implanted. Mode switch to atrial tracking (DDIR to DDD or VDD) Return to the programmed mode (except for the MVP mode with which there is invariably a return to DDD preceding the return to AAI) Gradual slowing of the tracking rate to the rate responsive rate (+ 40 ms with each interval).The AT/AF counter = 3 (3 VP-VP cycles with at least 2 sensed atrial events): mode switch to DDIR (MS).Each AS event is followed by a ventricular paced event: acceleration of the pacing rate. Onset of atrial arrhythmia in a patient in complete AV block, programmed in DDD mode.The AT/AF counter of is incremented by 1 point, each time ≥2 atrial events are sensed between 2 ventricular sensed or paced events. the median of 12 consecutive atrial intervals is shorter than the programmed AT/AF interval.In the Advisa / Ensura series the pacemaker switches to DDIR mode when 1 or both the following conditions is (are) met: out of 7 consecutive atrial intervals (AS-AR or AR-AS), 4 are shorter than the programmed detect rate interval.In the Adapta series, the pacemakers switch to DDIR mode when: The criteria prompting a switch from an atrial synchronous to DDIR mode vary among the range of implanted pacemakers. Mode switch to non-atrial tracking mode (DDD to DDIR) Mode switch is an ON / OFF programmable function designed to prevent the tracking of paroxysmal atrial tachycardias when the pacemaker operates in DDD, VDD or MVP modes.
