pacing
41coupled pacing — a variation of paired pacing in which the patient s natural depolarization serves as the first of the two stimuli, with the second induced by an artificial cardiac pacemaker …
42diaphragm pacing — diaphragmatic pacing electrophrenic respiration …
43dual chamber pacing — cardiac pacing using an artificial pacemaker that paces, senses, or does both in the atria and in the ventricles …
44overdrive pacing — cardiac pacing that increases the heart rate with an artificial cardiac pacemaker in order to suppress certain arrhythmias …
45paired pacing — cardiac pacing in which two impulses are delivered to the heart in close succession, the second generally just at the end of the refractory period induced by the first; used to slow tachyarrhythmias and to improve cardiac performance …
46physiologic pacing — cardiac pacing in which the pacemaker stimulates cardiac activity such that it duplicates as closely as possible the normally conducted sinus rhythm …
47ramp pacing — cardiac pacing in which stimuli are delivered at a rapid but continually altering rate, either from faster to slower (rate decremental or tune down), from fast to faster (cycle length decremental or ramp up), or in some cyclic combination of… …
48single chamber pacing — cardiac pacing in which the artificial pacemaker paces and senses in either atria or ventricles, usually in the latter …
49synchronous pacing — cardiac pacing in which information about sensed activity in one or more cardiac chambers is used to set timing of impulse generation by the artificial pacemaker …
50unipolar pacing — cardiac pacing that uses only a single electrode in contact with the cardiac tissue, with the indifferent electrode generally part of the pulse generator metal housing …
