Depending on the patient’s intrinsic rhythm and conduction, MVP allows V-V cycle variations and occasional pauses of up to twice the lower rate interval. Subsequent checks occur at progressively longer intervals (2, 4, 8 … min) up to 16 hours and then occur every 16 hours thereafter. The first check for AV conduction occurs after 1 minute. The device performs periodic one-cycle checks for AV conduction and the opportunity to resume AAIR or AAI therapy. When MVP is operating in DDDR or DDD mode, all programmable parameters associated with DDDR or DDD mode apply. If two of the four most recent nonrefractory A-A intervals are missing a ventricular event, the device identifies a persistent loss of AV conduction and switches to the DDDR or DDD mode. If AV conduction resumes, the device switches back to AAIR or AAI mode.įor transient loss of AV conduction, the device remains in the AAIR or AAI mode and provides a backup ventricular pace in response to an A-A interval that is missing a ventricular sense. For persistent loss of AV conduction, the device switches to DDDR or DDD mode. The MVP modes AAIRDDDR and AAIDDD provide AAIR or AAI mode pacing while monitoring AV conduction. Some models have diagnostics available (Data>Clinical Diagnostics>MVP Mode Switches).MVP is available, as a programming option for patients who do not respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), in Cobalt™/Crome™, and Claria™/Amplia™/Compia™ MRI CRT-D and Percepta™/Serena™/Solara™ MRI CRT-P devices.Rate Drop Response can be enabled in AAIDDD mode but not in AAIRDDDR mode.Sinus Preference is only available if the programmed pacing mode is DDDR.
Sinus Preference cannot be enabled if the programmed mode is AAIRDDDR.The Lower Rate and Sleep Rate parameters must be set to 35 ppm or greater when the pacemaker is programmed to an MVP mode.Search AV™+ is not pertinent and cannot be enabled if the pacemaker is programmed to an MVP mode.Permanent DDDR or DDD modes may be more appropriate for patients with symptomatic first-degree AV block. For patients with long PR intervals, the pacemaker will remain in the AAIR or AAI mode.If this is undesirable, permanent DDDR or DDD modes may be more appropriate. For patients with complete heart block, the device will drop one beat every 16 hours (AV conduction check).For patients with sinus bradycardia or frequent loss of AV conduction, program the Lower Rate to 60 bpm or higher. Upon abrupt loss of AV conduction, prior to switching to DDDR or DDD mode, ventricular pacing support can be as low as one-half the programmed Lower Rate +80 ms for two consecutive intervals.PAV and SAV apply only when loss of AV conduction is detected. Note on select models a maximum AV interval may be programmed. For MVP modes, it is not necessary to program longer PAV and SAV values to promote intrinsic AV conduction.In the example below, the current operating mode is AAIR with back-up pacing available. In each case, the atrial mode is followed by a “+” symbol to indicate that backup ventricular pacing is available. In AAIDDD mode, either AAI+ or DDD is displayed.In AAIRDDDR mode, either AAIR+ or DDDR is displayed.On the programmer status bar the current operating mode is displayed, as follows: Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology Wiley On the mode selection screen, the MVP modes are programmed by selecting AAIRDDDR or AAIDDD. Although no therapy is needed for the phenomenon described, it is important to understand its true significance and to avoid unnecessary surgical procedures. In the pacemaker used by us, the atrial refractory period is only initiated by an atrial event, allowing the pacemaker to sense retrograde P waves occurring after premature junctional or ventricular depolarizations. Therefore, the ventricular spike that should follow the retrograde P wave is inhibited. The reason for the occurrence of this phenomenon is that the sum of the VA conduction time and the AV delay is shorter than the pacemaker's hardware rate limit. Although retrograde P waves are usually followed by a ventricular spike and therefore create the possibility for “endless loop tachycardia,” in our patient some retrograde P waves which followed premature ventricuiar contractions or junctional beats produced pacemaker pauses. We describe pacemaker pauses and pseudohysteresis resulting from sensing of retrograde P waves in a patient with an implanted AV sequential universal pacemaker.
