Abstract
An AV search method and apparatus is taught with some variation described. It allows a pacemaker to find the appropriate AV interval so as to avoid pacing in the ventricle when it is not necessary, even if there is intermittent AV conduction in the patient. Also, an adaptive PVARP method and apparatus is disclosed that allows the PVARP and AV interval to be adjusted together automatically.
