Controlling the Ventricular Rate: Upper Rate Limit
Report: Atrial fibrillation 5 Paced ventricular response 115 – 119/min 5 Comment:The unit is pacing quite close to its upper rate limit of 120/min, obviously in response to atrial fibrillation (hence no atrial pacemaker activity – it remains suppressed
Fully Compensatory Pause: Post-Ectopic SA Depression
Report:Sinus rhythm 80/min 1 Left atrial abnormality (LAA) 2 SVEB with (fully) compensatory pause 3 Atrial-sensing ventricular pacing with 100% capture 4 Comment:The SVEB, probably of atrial origin, causes a fully compensatory pause – exactly the len
Sensing and not Sensing Atrial Fibrillation
Report:AV sequential pacemaker rhythm 60-75/min 5 Atrial fibrillation 5 Comment: For much of the trace the pacemaker is firing through both barrels, unaware that AF precludes any atrial capture. This wastes the battery. On the other hand, having a rapi
