Abbreviations: IED: implantable electromedical device; PM: pacemaker; ICD: implantable cardiac defibrillator; LVAD: left ventricular assist device; DDD: dual chamber pacemaker with pacing and sensing in atrium and ventricle; DDDR: dual chamber pacemaker that is rate responsive; VVI: pacemaker that is ventricle paced, ventricle sensed, and pacemaker inhibited in response to a sensed beat; VVIR: (most commonly placed) ventricle paced, ventricle sensed, and pacemaker inhibited in response to a sensed beat and rate responsive; DD: atrial sensing and pacing, and ventricular sensing and pacing, but the pacemaker will not track intrinsic atrial activity; DDIR: atrial sensing and pacing, and ventricular sensing and pacing, but the pacemaker will not track intrinsic atrial activity and is rate responsive; ATP: antitachycardia pacing.
