Abstract
A dual-chamber pacemaker for confirming pacemaker mediated tachycardia (PMT) after initial detection. The minimum V-V pacing interval is extended to be slightly longer than the interval of the sensed atrial rate. If the A-V Delay intervals in successive cycles remain constant, as opposed to progressively increasing in Wenckebach fashion, then PMT is confirmed.
