Implantable dual chamber heart stimulator

摘要

The invention relates to an implantable dual chamber heart stimulator comprising a stimulation threshold detector arranged to activate a stimulation threshold search algorithm to perform a stimulation threshold search at predetermined time intervals in order to determine a stimulation threshold of heart tissue. The heart stimulator comprises an AV-interval generator adapted to generate an AV-interval and a controller arranged to temporarily shorten the AV-interval to a threshold search AV-interval when this threshold search is performed. The heart stimulator further comprises AR/PR-interval measure adapted to measure the actual AR/PR conduction time in which this threshold search AV-interval is set by the AV-interval generator and the controller to the measured AR/PR-interval shortened by a predetermined time.
