16 Appendix A: Glossary
Atrial escape interval Time between ventricular sensed beat or a ventricular
pulse and the succeeding non-triggered atrial pulse of
a pulse generator, i.e. the time when the pacemaker
waits for a P-wave.
Atrial tracking In an atrioventricular mode, a ventricular stimulus
tracks a detected atrial P-wave (after P-V Delay) up to
the programmed maximum tracking rate. This results
in an atrial controlled timing of the pacemaker.
Atrial triggering A detected P-wave causes an atrial stimulus.
Atrioventricular Interval (AVI) Delay between an atrial pulse or the sensing of an
atrial depolarization and the subsequent ventricular
pulse or the sensing of a ventricular depolarization.
The actual AVI can be shorter than the adjusted A-V
Delay or P-V Delay in case of a spontaneous
ventricular depolarization.
A-V crosstalk Detection of the atrial output pulse by the ventricular
sensing amplifier which may result in ventricular
output inhibition.
A-V Delay (AVD) Programmed delay between an atrial pulse and the
subsequent non-triggered ventricular pulse under the
condition that no sensing of a ventricular depolari-
zation was detected by the pulse generator.
Basic Rate (short: rate) Pulse rate of a pulse generator, either atrial or ventri-
cular, unmodified by sensed cardiac or other electrical
influence.
Basic pulse interval Pulse interval unmodified by sensed cardiac or other
electrical influence.
Basic pulse interval = 1 / Basic Rate.
Blanking period Period during which a sensing function of a pulse
generator is disabled.
