A rate-responsive cardiac pacemaker implements a novel pacing mode, identified as ADIR/VVIR, which is especially effective for patients with Sick Sinus Syndrome and only intermittent atrioventricular block. Within the same pacemaker circuitry, an AAIR pacemaker and a VVI pacemaker (with an escape rate below that of the AAIR pacemaker) are provided with atrial blanking following both atrial and ventricular events. Ventricular blanking after atrial pacing is minimized for better detection of R-waves following an atrial paced event.

La présente invention concerne un stimulateur cardiaque sensible au rythme mettant en oeuvre le nouveau mode de stimulation "ADIR/VVIR" qui est particulièrement adapté aux patients souffrant d'un syndrome de dysfonctionnement sinusal associé uniquement à une intermittence du bloc auriculo-ventriculaire. Un seul circuit de stimulation cardiaque intègre les stimulations de types AAIR et VVI, le rythme d'échappement du type VVI étant inférieur à celui de la stimulation de type AAIR. Ces stimulations sont caractérisées par un silence auriculaire suivant les événements aussi bien auriculaires que ventriculaires. Pour permettre une meilleur détection des ondes R succédant à un événement de stimulation auriculaire, le silence ventriculaire post-stimulation auriculaire est réduit à un minimum.
