Abstract :
Mode switching for atrial tachyarrhythmias is a concept that originated from use of DDI mode and was introduced in the early 1990s to prevent dual-chamber pacemakers from ventricular tracking of rapid atrial rates. This article describes the currently available systems and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the technique. The results of a preliminary randomized controlled trial of 1 algorithm and plans for a second study are presented.
