If an intrinsic event is detected during the 20 cycles of pacing, the device will again increase the pacing
rate by 8 bpm and start a new 20-cycle interval up to a maximum rate of 120 bpm or MSR.
Programming of Atrial overdrive pacing requires that the Basic rate to be at least 30 bpm less than the
Maximum Overdrive Rate. This also applies when performing an atrial threshold test and may require the
user to increase the MSR or turn off Atrial overdrive to perform the atrial threshold test at higher rates.
Protection Function of the Algorithm
Atrial overdrive pacing (Overdrive Mode) consists of different functions that become effective at high
atrial rates:
• When the maximum activity rate (MAR, standard setting 120 ppm, (90… (5)…160 ppm) is
exceeded as with atrial tachycardias, the algorithm is automatically deactivated. If the rate falls
below the MAR, the overdrive algorithm is reactivated.
• The function is deactivated when the mean of the atrial rate over a period of twelve hours exceeds
the average safety rate (“overdrive average rate limit = OAR”). The average safety rate is
determined indirectly from the maximum overdrive pacing rate (MOR minus 10ppm). If the average
safety rate is exceeded, the pacing rate is incrementally reduced to the basic rate. If the average
atrial heart rate falls below the average safety rate, the preventive overdrive pacing is reactivated
(activation/deactivation only in a 12 hour rhythm).
• If the function is deactivated for a third time because the average safety rate has been exceeded,
overdrive pacing remains OFF permanently. The overdrive mode can not be reactivated until after
the pacemaker has been programmed.
NOTE:
Atrial Overdrive cannot be programmed when CLS is active.
CAUTION
Overdrive Pacing Mode
When programming the overdrive pacing
mode, check whether the selected program can cause PMT, and
whether atrial over drive pacing would result. Corresponding to the
measured retrograde conduction time, the PMT protection interval
must be programmed to a correct value.
5.11 Management of Specific Scenarios
5.11.1 PMT Management
A PMT is defined as a tachycardia caused by inadvertently tracking retrograde P-waves. The PMT
management feature includes PMT Protection/Termination and a programmable PMT detection and
termination algorithm.
5.11.2 PMT Protection
Pacemaker-mediated tachycardia (PMT) is normally triggered by ventricular depolarizations that are
not synchronized with atrial depolarizations (e.g., VES). The tachycardia is maintained in a retrograde
direction by intrinsic VA conduction of the stimulated ventricular depolarization and in an antegrade
direction by ventricular pacing of the pacemaker that is triggered by P-waves. It is the objective of the
atrial PMT protection interval to not use retrogradely conducted atrial sensed events for pacemaker
timing, but only to statistically evaluate them for detection of atrial tachycardia incidents.
