Definitions used in this report:
SSI: A pacemaker that senses and stimulates one chamber at one rate.
AAI: A pacemaker that stimulates and senses the atrium at one rate
VVI: A pacemaker that stimulates and senses the ventricle at one rate
SSI.R A pacemaker that senses and stimulates one chamber at a rate determined
by a sensor
AAI.R A pacemaker that senses and stimulates the atrium at a rate determined by a sensor
VVI.R A pacemaker that senses and stimulates the ventricle at a rate determined by a sensor
DDD: A pacemaker that senses and stimulates both atrium and ventricle.
The stimulation rate is determined the maximum tracking rate and a minimum
rate.
DDD.R: A pacemaker that senses and stimulates both atrium and ventricle. The stimulation rate is governed by a maximum rate, the rate determined by a sensor and the minimum rate.
DDI: A pacemaker that senses and stimulates both atrium and ventricle.
The stimulation rate is fixed.
DDI.R: A pacemaker that senses and stimulates both atrium and ventricle. The stimulation rate is governed by a maximum rate, the rate determined by a sensor and the minimum rate.
VDD: A pacemaker that senses the atrium and ventricle and paces the
ventricle.
