  • Title: Atrial synchronous ventricular inhibited pacing (VDD): an underutilized mode of pacing.
    Author: Messenger JC, Greenberg PS, Warren J, Castellanet MJ.
    Journal: Pacing Clin Electrophysiol; 1983 Mar; 6(2 Pt 2):392-8. PubMed ID: 6189084.
    Abstract:
    The design of atrial synchronous, ventricular inhibited (VDD) pacemakers has been improved. Physiologic long-term benefit has now been established, although this mode of pacing accounts for approximately one percent of implanted devices. With the ultimate control of pacemaker-mediated tachycardia through atrial refractory programming close at hand or already available, one might expect an increase in VDD pacing in patients with exercise-induced high degree heart block and stable sinus node function.
