DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF ARRHYTHMIAS

摘要

A medical device selects the most appropriate among various calculated escape intevals for use in the next cardiac cycle. This is particularly implemented in a cardiac event in which a pacemaker is used to prevent multiple tachyarrhythmias. The prevention pacing modes may be simultaneously active, with the escape interval for each mode calculated and updated on a beat-by-beat basis. The medical device selects tachyarrhythmia prevention pacing modality to control the escape interval of the current cardiac cycle in order that a more appropriate method for calculating the escape interval based on the present condition of the patient, may be selected.
