Length and contiguity influence specificity of AMS for AF
April 26th, 2005
Length and contiguity influence the specificity of automatic mode switching (AMS) for the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF). The number of AMS episodes "has been used to measure the efficacy of atrial pacing in limiting" AF, cardiologists in Italy explained. In their study, A. De Simone and coauthors at Casa di Cura San Michele "investigated the impact of length and contiguity on the specificity of AMS in detecting AF episodes in 24 recipients of dual chamber pacemakers with sick sinus syndrome and paroxysmal AF." "An AMS algorithm and intracardiac electrogram recordings (IEGM) were activated in all patients to distinguish...
