Active implantable medical device for treating heart rhythm disturbances, comprising means for detection, analysis and treatment of ventricular pauses

摘要

In an initial stage (10) a pause threshold, typically of three seconds, is set. A pause diagnostic device (12) detects pauses which exceed the preset threshold and in a further stage (14) relevant data is saved and stimulation at physiological frequency is initiated. A return to normal spontaneous rhythm is detected (16) and the length of the pause threshold is adjusted (18,22) or alternatively if at maximum, the algorithm is deactivated (20)
