Abstract

A multiple-mode pacer which automatically switches from an atrial synchronous mode to a ventricular inhibited mode when the intrinsic atrial rate drops below a preset hysteresis rate. This mode switching prevents atrial bradycardia from resulting in the delivery of closely spaced ventricular stimulating pulses.
