A VVI pacemaker stimulates and senses in the chamber and if it senses spontaneous ventricular activity (R-wave), it does not stimulate. If the ventricular rate is slower than the base rate, then the pacemaker will pace.

7 sie 2023 · To facilitate the use and understanding of pacemakers, a standardized classification code has been developed. Most patients can be managed with one of three common modes (AAI, VVI, or DDD), with or without rate responsiveness.
6 paź 2024 · VVI. ventricular pacing and sensing; if no electrical impulse sensed then pacemaker will pace @ a pre-programmed rate; if electrical impulse sensed then pacing inhibited; asynchronous pacing; DDD. both atrium and ventricle both sensed and paced; if both SA and AV node functioning then pacemaker will just sense
8 paź 2024 · VVI – Ventricle pacing and sensing Similar to AAI mode but involving ventricles instead of the atrium. Used in patients with chronic atrial impairment e.g. atrial fibrillation or flutter.
11 gru 2022 · Pacemakers are electric activity-generating devices used to treat patients with slow heart rates or symptomatic heart blocks and in patients with heart failure.[1]
VVI mode delivers ventricular pacing at the programmed lower pacing rate, with inhibition when intrisic ventricular events are sensed. Only the ventricle is sensed and after every sensed event, the lower pacing rate interval resets.
A single-chamber pacemaker operates in VVI mode when only one lead is positioned in the ventricle; the VVI mode can also be programmed in a dual- chamber pacemaker. The VVI mode provides single-chamber ventricular pacing at the programmed pacing rate, unless inhibited by a sensed ventricular event. Sensing only applies to the ventricle.
