thank you..highly needed when cardiologist always defers your questions to his medical assistant or nurse both who weren't even at location of implantation surgery
Thank you so much for a video that was clear and concise. You explained the modes and gave examples of each which was so helpful. I look forward to watching future videos. Well done.
Thank you for this very informative,easy to understand PPM modes video. But in P Wave tracking mode, Heart rate will NOT go above upper rate limit, usually 120 BPM, even if the patient goes in afib/flutter. with atrial rate of 200-300 bpm because Vetricular pacing upper rate is 120 bpm. Correct me if I am wrong.
You are correct. The upper rate limit or max tracking rate (depending on which company you are working with) is a safety feature that will prevent the pacemaker from tracking something like an atrial tachycardia and then pacing the ventricles too fast. I go into more detail on this in my next video on Timing Cycles. here is the link for that if you want it. th-cam.com/video/MGs9Db3wFKg/w-d-xo.html 😃
Awesome video! I'm a cardiology NP, new to pacers and I'm having a hard time learning from the books I have. Many thanks for this video! I will be checking out your other videos as well. Your "about" section is blank. Who am I learning from? Are you on Twitter?
Marian: Thank you for the compliment. Glad you found the video helpful. My name is Tyler Rust and I have been working in the pacing industry for a little over 9 years now. The TH-cam videos are a little side project that I have been working on in my spare time. I'm hoping to keep developing the channel and add more content, eventually I will get the "about" information filled out. I'm currently not on Twitter. Best of luck with the pacemaker learning process!
sifar1111 - When paroxismal AF/AFL is present, the preferred mode is DDD as long as the pacemaker is able to sense the AF/AFL. All pacemakers have an algorithm called Automatic Mode Switch. This Mode Switch algorithm detects when the patient goes into A-Fib/Flutter and will automatically change the mode from a tracking mode to a non tracking mode such as DDI or VVI. After the patient converts back into a sinus rhythm the pacemaker will detect that and then switch back to DDD mode.
I have a question could a person with a DDD have 100 own rhythm... meaning could be that the pace wasn't needed at all? this person has Normal Sinus, 1° AV Block, NYHA Class II... the report doesnt have any events... what would you do? would you keep the pacemaker or not ?
Hi there, the answer to your questions really depends on several variables. 1st, yes you can have a person with a DDD pacemaker have a heart rate of 100 bpm and rarely use the pacemaker. It may seem like they don't need the pacemaker at all. The important thing to look at is, what are the pacing percentages in the Atrium and Ventricles? This will give you a better idea as to how much they are actually using the pacemaker. The lower the percentage the less they are using the pacemaker. Please note that some people are programmed in a way to rarely use their pacemaker, so a low pacing percentage does not mean that the patient doesn't need the pacemaker. Some patients might rarely use their pacemakers but when they do it is vital and potentially lifesaving. Pacemakers are not usually implanted for first degree block unless they are symptomatic due to the long AV block. You would really want to find out the original indication for the pacemaker. Typically this is Sick Sinus Syndrome, Bradycardia, Syncope or 2nd and 3rd degree heart blocks. Would I keep the pacemaker? I am not the patients physician and therefore can not answer that question. Sorry I can't help with that one.
If it is chronic Afib you are most likely better off with programming VVI. But, if they have proximal Afib and are not mode switching well due to small p-waves, sometimes DDI is the preferred mode over DDD. This way they will still get some atrial pacing support when needed in a sinus Bradycardia situation but won't track the atrium and pace the ventricle in the presence of Afib.
Glad it was helpful. Is there something specific about programming that you had a question about? It would be a little tough to make a video on programming since there are multiple companies and everyone's programmer is different.
I do have a couple of other videos on my TH-cam channel that you can check out. One on Pacemaker timing cycles that addresses some topics such as Upper Rate Behavior and Pacemaker Mediated Tachycardia, and also another video on Pacemaker Concepts explaining sensing, impedances and thresholds. I hope to make some more videos when I have time. I will leave a link to my TH-cam Channel below. There is a playlist for Pacemakers which has my three videos and then there are also 4 videos from Medmastery on the topic of pacemakers that are a good watch as well. Have a good day! th-cam.com/channels/QhX1AAZoAOWtAeANMIFwHQ.html

In the last section of choice of mode, is it DDI rather than DDD in patients with Paroxymal AF/AFL?
sifar1111 - When paroxismal AF/AFL is present, the preferred mode is DDD as long as the pacemaker is able to sense the AF/AFL. All pacemakers have an algorithm called Automatic Mode Switch. This Mode Switch algorithm detects when the patient goes into A-Fib/Flutter and will automatically change the mode from a tracking mode to a non tracking mode such as DDI or VVI. After the patient converts back into a sinus rhythm the pacemaker will detect that and then switch back to DDD mode.
I was trying to find out what to do with a aortic aneurysm and a ar to aortic arch blockage with a up pacemaker
W.r.

What are the indications for a DDI when you can use VVI then in case of Afib?
If it is chronic Afib you are most likely better off with programming VVI. But, if they have proximal Afib and are not mode switching well due to small p-waves, sometimes DDI is the preferred mode over DDD. This way they will still get some atrial pacing support when needed in a sinus Bradycardia situation but won't track the atrium and pace the ventricle in the presence of Afib.

Glad it was helpful. Is there something specific about programming that you had a question about? It would be a little tough to make a video on programming since there are multiple companies and everyone's programmer is different.
thank for your reply, what an honor. Actually a video about programming/telemetry "general concepts"
