Mr. Barouh P rkovits 179 Woodcli Road Newton Highlands, Massachusetts 02161 and Mr. Ray S. McDonald 2241 Marion Street St. Paul, Minnesota 55113 M&G-1958.1/USA TACHYCARDIA TREATMENT Abstract of the Disclosure Treatment of re-entry tachycardias through the use of a pacemaker which includes sequentially timed oscillators for delivering stimulating pulses to an atrium and ventricle, preferably on a demand basis, and a circuit for detecting a tachycardia condition and switching to an asynchronous mode of operation. The detector does not respond to a single extraneous or premature beat, but after a predetermined number of beats occurring above a predetermined normal beat rate the detector switches the pacemaker to an asynchronous mode. Relative variation in the phase of the asynchronous pacing and the tachycardia beats results within a short time in occurrence of a pulse in the critical time period to stop the tachycardia., The use of sequential stimulation in both chambers overcomes some of the problems in selecting the proper site for stimulation. Hysteresis is provided in the heartbeat rate detecting circuit for preventing premature discontinuance of the asynchronous mode due to masking of pulses by the refractory period of the QRS-wave amplifying circuits.
