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.
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).
Although pacemaker syndrome may occur with any mode of pacing, it is most common with ventricular pacing in the VVI mode in patients who are in sinus rhythm. One randomized clinical trial compared 16 different symptoms and hemodynamic parameters among 40 patients in sinus rhythm who were randomly programmed to the VVI mode or the DDD mode.
11 gru 2022 · There are 3 basic kinds of pacemakers: Single chamber. One lead attaches to the upper or lower heart chamber. Dual-chamber. Uses 2 leads, 1 for the upper and 1 for the lower chamber. Biventricular pacemakers (used in cardiac resynchronization therapy). Modes of Cardiac Pacing.

VVI and DDD pacemakers are the devices most commonly used. They offer equivalent survival benefits. Compared with VVI pacemakers, physiologic pacemakers (AAI, DDD, VDD) appear to reduce risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure and slightly improve quality of life.
