PHASE4
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of individual adjustment of the postventricular atrial blanking period in avoiding inappropriate mode switch of dual chamber pacemakers.
Detailed Description
Far-field R-wave sensing (FFS) in the atrial channel of dual chamber pacemakers is a relevant source for inappropriate mode switch from the DDD mode to the DDI or VDI mode. Inappropriate loss of atrio...
