PVC response atrial pace,’’ an algorithm designed for preventing pacemaker-induced tachycardia following premature ventricular contractions, triggers atrial high-rate episodes

[www.heartrhythmjournal.com]

I think my Metronics PM is not tweaked properly. I don’t know if it has the capacity settings of the Abbott algorithm. Luckily I found this today.

I have tachycardia and PVCs. During last night I did not PVCs but instead I had two hours of 119-120hr tachy. My days I usually have a huge burden of PVCs. I can’t catch my breath. My next download is on the 15th and I get seen in the pacemaker clinic 13 days later. Curious if my PM can be tweaked.

Interesting article.
