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.

Pacemakers can be programmed to pace and to sense in a bipolar mode (lead tip to lead ring) or a unipolar mode (lead tip to pulse generator). Bipolar sensing is preferred due to its smaller sensing “antenna,” which minimizes oversensing of extracardiac signals.
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.
Available pacing modes include dual-chamber (DDD or DDI), ventricular single-chamber (VVI), and atrial single-chamber (AAI). Rate adaptive pacing may. Table 1 Consensus recommendations for device and mode selection apply to situations where the clinical decision for pacing has already been made. 2.
Twelve of sixteen symptoms were significantly worse in the VVI mode, with a mean symptom score of 29.0 ± 26.1 in the VVI group compared with 7.3 ± 12.4 in the DDD or DDI group (p <0.001).
With the availability of Simplified Interpretation of Pacemaker ECGs, a previously daunting task is now simple and painless. The reader is led step-by-step through all of the information needed to interpret pacemaker ECGs.
Pacing modes are programmed according to the needs of the patient. Pacing modes that are commonly used are shown in Table 3.2. In the AAI mode, atrial pacing will occur when the atrial rate falls below the programmed atrial rate (Fig. 3.1).
