What can cause a short AV delay is the response gradual VSS = sudden
or sudden Rate adaptive AV = gradual
Negative AV hysteresis = sudden or gradual
AAIR/DDDR algorithm = sudden
Two most common causes of VSS atrial undersensing and V ectopy
What is another name for PMT endless-loop-tachycardia
What initiates PMT Anything that causes loss of AV synchrony
What programming can be done to prevent crosstalk Decrease Atrial output
Make V channel less sensitive
Increase V blanking
How many bpm is 1 Hz 60 bpm
Hz is measured in Cycles / second
Frequency of R and p waves 5-100 Hz not filtered
Frequency and slew rate of T waves <8 Hz, low frequency and low slew rate
Frequency of external interference 30-300 Hz
Frequency of myopotentials 10-200 Hz
These can be difficult to filter, especially in unipolar myopotentials
