Abstract
A device-implemented software system operates a detection window and adjusts PAV as needed after confirming the presence or detection of evidence of an arrhythmia. The detection window is monitored based on a preferred length. If the detection window is shorter than required, intervals are adjusted for a specific pacing rate. Further, the software system provides means for selecting detection over pacing based on an analysis of a preferred length in the presence of evidence of an arrhythmia.
