Abstract
A medical device system including an pacemaker implantable in a chamber of a patient's heart is configured to sense near field events from a cardiac electrical signal, establish a lower rate interval to control a rate of delivery of pacing pulses and schedule a first pacing pulse by starting a pacing escape interval set equal to the lower rate interval. The pacemaker withholds the scheduled pacing pulse in response to sensing a near-field event during the pacing escape interval and schedules a next pacing pulse to be delivered at the lower rate interval from a time that the pacing escape interval is scheduled to expire.
