    Single-Chamber Pacemakers - in A Single

    Uploaded by

    Single-chamber pacemakers use one lead placed in either the atrium or ventricle, while dual-chamber pacemakers use two leads placed in both chambers to more closely match the heart's natural pacing. Rate-responsive pacemakers have sensors that automatically adjust the heart rate based on activity level.

    Single-Chamber Pacemakers In a single-

    chamber pacemaker, only one wire (pacing lead)


    is placed into a chamber of the heart. Sometimes
    it is the upper chamber, or atrium. Other times it
    is the lower chamber, or ventricle.
    Dual-Chamber Pacemakers In dual chamber
    pacemakers, wires are placed in two chambers of the
    heart. One lead paces the atrium and one paces the
    ventricle. This approach more closely matches the
    natural pacing of the heart. This type of pacemaker
    can coordinate function between the atria and
    ventricles.
    Rate-Responsive Pacemakers
    These have sensors that
    automatically adjust to changes in a
    person's physical activity.
    Speed up a slow heart rhythm.
    Help control an abnormal or fast
    heart rhythm.
    Make sure the ventricles contract
    normally if the atria are quivering
    instead of beating with a normal
    rhythm (a condition called atrial
    fibrillation).
    Coordinate electrical signaling
    between the upper and lower
    chambers of the heart.
    Coordinate electrical signaling
    between the ventricles.
    Pacemakers that do this are
    called cardiac resynchronization
    therapy (CRT) devices. CRT
    devices are used to treat heart
    failure.
    Prevent dangerous arrhythmias
    caused by a disorder called long
    QT syndrome.
