AV Synchrony Restored
RYTHMIQ
operates in AAI(R) pacing mode with VVI backup during times of normal conduction, switching to DDD(R) mode when a conduction block is detected
Loss of AV Synchrony
Operation
RYTHMIQ™Slide2
The device provides AAI(R) at the LRL and/or sensor indicated rate with backup VVI pacing at a rate of 15 bpm slower than the LRL
When there is good conduction, ventricular pacing does not occur as the VVI backup mode runs in the backgroundDuring normal conduction, RYTHMIQ operates like two pacemakers running concurrently – one in AAI(R) mode and one in VVI mode.

Operation
RYTHMIQ™Slide3
The device
monitors for loss of AV synchrony to determine when to switch to DDD(R) mode
Loss of AV Synchrony
If 3 slow ventricular beats are detected in a window of 11 beats, then the device automatically switches to DDD(R) mode. A slow beat for RYTHMIQ is defined as a ventricular pace or ventricular sensed event that is at least 150 ms slower than the AAI(R) pacing rate.

INGENIO™ records a RYTHMIQ Episode along with 20 seconds of
electrogram data when RYTHMIQ detects loss of AV synchrony. This can help the clinician to diagnose patient rhythm conduction disorders and determine appropriate algorithms and pacemaker settingsOperationRYTHMIQ™Slide5
If AV Search+ remains in AV hysteresis for at least 25 cardiac cycles, and less than 2 of the last 10 cycles are ventricular paced, then the device automatically switches the pacing mode back to AAI (R) with VVI backup.
The device uses AV Search+ to periodically check for a return of intrinsic conduction and determine when to mode switch back to AAI(R) with VVI backup.

AV Synchrony Restored
RYTHMIQ
is designed to adapt to a patient’s conduction disorder, by mode switching when AV synchrony is lost or restored, without clinically significant pauses

went directly from AAI(R) into ATR Mode Switch, when the mode switch ends, it goes directly back into AAI(R) modeException During ATR Mode SwitchRYTHMIQ™Slide8
RYTHMIQ is designed to minimize unnecessary pacing without clinically significant pauses
RYTHMIQ operates like two pacemakers running concurrently—one in AAI(R) and one in VVI
RYTHMIQ does not require dropped ventricular beats to switch to DDD(R) pacing

Patients may
require different algorithms at various stages of their conduction disease. RYTHMIQ adds another RV pacing algorithm to Boston Scientific devices, because no one algorithm is appropriate for every patient.
AV Search+ is designed to reduce unnecessary RV pacing by providing backup ventricular pacing for every beat while searching for intrinsic activity

Boston Scientific Indications-Based Programming would recommend paced/sensed AV delays. While not an algorithm, an equivalent setting would be available in competitor devices
