A microcomputer-based tachycardia termination system--a preliminary report

J Camm, D Ward, J Gainsborough

    Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology
    |March 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new microprocessor system uses autodecremental atrial pacing. This method offers rapid pacing benefits while potentially lowering the risk of difficult atrial tachyarrhythmias, making it suitable for pacemakers.

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Atrial tachyarrhythmias pose a risk with current pacing methods.
    • Rapid asynchronous atrial pacing has benefits but also drawbacks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel microprocessor-based system for atrial pacing.
    • To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of autodecremental atrial pacing.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a microprocessor-based pacing system.
    • Implementation of the autodecremental mode for atrial pacing.

    Main Results:

    • The system employs the autodecremental mode of atrial pacing.
    • Preliminary data suggest retention of rapid pacing advantages.
