Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An implantable pacing device for delivering ventricular pacing may be configured to intermittently and variably reduce the AV delay interval used in an atrial triggered pacing mode in a manner that simulates exercise. The device may be programmed to intermittently switch to and from a variably shortened AV delay mode according to defined entry and exit conditions.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A cardiac device, comprising: pulse generation circuitry for delivering pacing pulses to one or more ventricular sites; sensing circuitry for receiving electrogram signals from atrial and ventricular electrodes and detecting atrial and ventricular senses; a controller interfaced to the pulse generation and sensing circuitry for controlling the operation of the device in accordance with programmed instructions and programmed to operate in either a normal…
