What does it all mean? : DDD
DDD MODE:
The
first
letter is
D
, so both the Atrium and the
Ventricles are being
paced
.
The
second
letter is also
D
which means that the pacemaker is looking
for
sensed
intrinsic beats in both the Atrium and the Ventricle
The
third
letter
D
means that the pacemaker can both
Trigger
a
Ventricular pace in
response
to a sensed Atrial event, and
inhibit
the
Atrial and/or Ventricular pace if it senses an intrinsic event in that
chamber before its internal timing tells it to pace .
An atrial sense:
Inhibits the next scheduled atrial pace
Re-starts the lower rate timer
Triggers an AV interval (called a Sensed AV Interval or SAV)
An atrial pace:
Re-starts the lower rate timer
Triggers an AV delay timer (the Paced AV or PAV)
A ventricular sense:
Inhibits the next scheduled ventricular pace
Examples of DDD mode and how it works
DDD mode can have four possible outcomes for pacing depending on the
patient’s condition or underlying rhythm
Atrial and ventricular pacing
• Atrial pace re-starts the lower rate timer (Long arrow) and
triggers an AV delay timer (PAV)( shorter arrow)
• The PAV expires without being inhibited by a ventricular
sense, resulting in a ventricular pace
Both the atrium and the ventricles are being paced, first
the atrium and then the ventricle.
The pacemaker begins by pacing in the atrium. 2 timers are started:

The lower rate timer
The AV Interval timer (we call this timer the PAV or Paced
AV interval)
The AV Interval timer expires WITHOUT BEING INHIBITED by a
ventricular sense – so the pacemaker paces in the
ventricle.
The lower rate timer continues. If it expires without being
inhibited by an atrial event (as shown above), the
pacemaker paces in the atrium, and the cycle begins
again.
Why does the pacemaker’s AV interval timer expire without being inhibited?
Perhaps the patient has a heart block
Perhaps the patient has delayed AV conduction — the
patient’s P-R interval is longer than the PAV programmed
into the pacemaker
Why does the pacemaker’s atrial escape interval expire?
The patient’s sinus rate is less than the pacemaker’s
programmed rate e.g. sinus bradycardia
Atrial pacing and ventricular sensing
Atrial pace re-starts the lower rate timer and triggers an AV delay timer
(PAV)
The PAV expires without being inhibited by a ventricular
sense, resulting in a ventricular pace
Lower rate timer 1000ms
In this example we see atrial pacing with an intrinsic ventricular response (VS).
The pacemaker begins by pacing in the atrium. The 2 timers are
started:
• The lower rate timer (longer arrow)
• The AV Interval timer (this is the PAV or Paced AV interval)(shorter
arrow)
The AV Interval timer IS INHIBITED by a ventricular sense – so the AV
timer is reset, but the lower rate timer continues.
It expires without being inhibited by an atrial event, so the pacemaker
paces in the atrium, and the cycle begins again.
Atrial pacing and ventricular sensing can occur if:

Patient’s intrinsic AV conduction occurs faster than the
PAV interval, but the patient’s sinus rate (his A-to-A
interval) is still longer than the lower rate interval
programmed into the pacemaker.
Atrial sensing, ventricular pacing
The intrinsic atrial event (P-wave) inhibits the lower rate timer and
triggers an AV delay timer (SAV)
The SAV expires without being inhibited by an intrinsic
ventricular event, resulting in a ventricular pace
In this example we see P-waves followed by ventricular pacing.
This is also called “tracking,” and is pretty common in
pacemakers programmed to the DDD mode.
An intrinsic P-wave inhibits the scheduled atrial output.
The lower rate timer is reset to zero and begins again.
The AV interval timer (this time called a Sensed AV or SAV
– because it follows a sensed atrial event) begins.
This timer expires before a ventricular sense occurs, so a
ventricular pace occurs, and the lower rate timer
continues, and before it can expire, another intrinsic atrial
event is sensed and the cycle begins again.
Another way to describe this is that the patient’s A-A
interval is shorter than the Lower Rate Interval, but his
intrinsic P-R interval is longer than the SAV.
