Programming requirement: If the rate-responsive pacing function is
-1
ON, the lower limit of the basic rate is 50 min
.
i Maximum tracking rate
The maximum tracking rate determines the upper limit of the pacing
rate.
Special case: In triggered mode (single or dual chamber), the device
may exceed the maximum tracking rate and pace to the rate limit
value.
i Rate hysteresis
Rate hysteresis determines the ability of the patient's natural sinus
rhythm to decrease below the escape rate. After sensing, the
pacemaker operates with an escape rate reduced by the
programmed percentage of hysteresis.
Programming requirements: 1. If the Rate Response function is
-1
programmed, the escape rate cannot be below 50 min
. 2. When the
-1
basic rate is less than or equal to 45 min
, rate hysteresis is
programmed to 0% and is not accessible.
7.3. PACING AND SENSING PARAMETERS
i Pulse amplitude
The pulse amplitude determines the voltage applied to the heart
during pacing.
Recommendation: Use the "as shipped" value immediately after
implant to avoid loss of capture due to a temporary rise in the pacing
threshold.
