Dual-chamber rate-modulated (DDDR) pacing is a mode that is programmed into a pacemaker and recommended for patients with atrioventricular block and sinus node dysfunction. DDDR modes include pacing and sensing capabilities in both the ventricles and atria:

The most common two-chamber system is DDD, which implies pacing in the atria and ventricles, sensing in the atria and ventricles, and the ability be inhibited or triggered. This pacemaker stimulates in the atria and ventricles if the intrinsic heart rate is below the basic rate of the pacemaker.
11 gru 2022 · DDD has 4 distinct pacing patterns: AsVs (Atrial sensed Ventricle sensed): Used when the patient has good sinus node function and good AV node function AsVp (Atrial sensed Ventricular paced): Used when the patient has a good sinus node function but poor AV node conduction
7 sie 2023 · Most patients can be managed with one of three common modes (AAI, VVI, or DDD), with or without rate responsiveness. Contemporary pacemakers are versatile and capable of the most commonly used pacing modes and basic functions (ie, mode switching and rate responsiveness).
13 lip 2015 · Introduction. A basic knowledge of how pacemakers function can be useful when interpreting paced rhythms. It is helpful to know: The type of pacemaker. The programmed parameters. The diagnosis that necessitated a pacemaker.
The basic principle of the DDD mode is to synchronize ventricular pacing on both atrial sensing and pacing. Any atrial sensing outside the refractory period and any atrial pacing results in ventricular pacing at the end of the AV delay in the absence of intrinsic ventricular sensing.
1 lut 1987 · DDD pacemakers offer a physiologic form of pacing for selected patients by incorporating atrioventricular synchrony over a wide range of atrial rates.
