Abstract

See full text

A dual chamber pacemaker and a method of employing the pacemaker to accomplish atrial synchronized ventricular pacing with complete ventricular capture by control of the A-V escape intervals of the pacer. The maximum A-V escape interval effective to accomplish complete ventricular capture is determined and compared to intrinsic A-V conduction time to derive an offset interval. The offset interval is subtracted from the initially measured conduction time to select initial A-V escape interval durations and is subtracted from A-V conduction times measured after implant of the pacemaker to automatically adjust A-V escape interval durations of the pacemaker to maintain complete ventricular capture.
