Algorithms favoring AV conduction
Extensive literature demonstrates the deleterious effect of prolonged right ventricular pacing. Similarly, any unnecessary reduction in ventricular pacing saves batteries and optimizes pacemaker life. Manufacturers have proposed various ways of reducing the percentage of ventricular pacing without compromising patient safety in the event of an atrioventricular conduction disorder. The preferred indication for this type of mode is therefore sinus dysfunction with preserved or paroxysmally altered atrioventricular conduction.
Each manufacturer has specific operating features to favor AV conduction. Please look for more information on the page of each manufacturer:
