Abstract
A device and method for implementing a bradycardia pacing mode are disclosed which is mostly hardware-based but still allows the flexibility for making major changes in brady behavior normally found only in firmware-based implementations. The brady behavior of the device is encapsulated by a table in an area of RAM referred to as brady RAM, and the brady behavior can be changed by re-loading the brady RAM with a different table.
